Their particular geographical distribution
Their present low percentage population compared to the total Argentine population
The seriously endangered situation of the peoples and their languages.
Vilela is defined by an extremely endangered situation, because of:
a significantly low and invisibilized population
a strong rejection to identify themselves as Vilela people
a (probably) abrupt language shift to Toba language
Tapiete currently manifests powerful threats for the future of the language, because of:
the increasing pressure on Tapiete speakers to use Spanish.
an extended bilingualism and non monolingualism among the children
a relatively recent phenomenon of abrupt rupture of the transmission to the youngest generations.
