*To Tenire's post.*
Um... I don't think Navajo is a good comparison and situation as a language to Gaelic. I have little if any knowledge of Gaelic, though, and I'm sorry if I'm butting in where I don't belong.
As far as I know, no new words are created in Navajo, so a car has legs and arms and eyes, and so on, but it is live and well being spoken with tongue firmly against teeth all over the Southwest. Ask our very own Riverkilt, so not hardly dying out. I can pick up some radio programs from up north.
It is my understanding the Dine' Windtalkers used coded language not just regular Navajo, but I might be wrong about that, and were generally proud to have served.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
