アイヌごはほっかいどうからきました。アイヌごは"moribound"です。アイヌごはおもしろいですね。So in other words, the Ainu language is one that is spoken only in the Hokkaidō area of Japan and is considered a language isolate. There are not many native speakers left and many of these do not use the language on a daily basis which leads the tounge to be thought of as moribound, or leading to extinction. Although it is classified as such, there is an ongoing attempt to revive the language by Shigeru Kayano who is an Ainu activist. The language itself is similar to Japanese but there are a few differences and even a special カタカナ system for it! Anyway for more information on the topic you can check out the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_language
