Newsday published an article on the popularity of Nüshu: https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/china-nushu-women-exclusive-script-jiangyong-n64765 On the other hand, that article makes no mention of Yao people. [[User:Mdmcginn|Mdmcginn]] ([[User talk:Mdmcginn|talk]]) 03:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

*Yes, I saw that article too; it was originally from the Associated Press and it seems to have been picked up by a number of outlets. I am going to modify "extinct" in the first paragraph and refer to that article. — [[User:Scribblingwoman|<span style="color:#666699;">scribbling</span>]][[User_talk:Scribblingwoman|<span style="color:#666666;">woman</span>]] 20:45, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
*:I would recommend not doing so; scripts can be used and understood while still being functionally extinct. Forgive me for the glib but hopefully comparable example: I can get into writing ogham with a friends' circle, but that doesn't mean ogham is in active use as a script writing Gaelic in a community. Separately from its cultural import and aesthetic legacy (which to be clear I think is lovely), Nüshu is not used to write [[Xiangnan Tuhua]] like it was before 2004. We (or sources) would likely consider it a different [[writing system]] if it were being used to write in a different way, which this doesn't seem to amount to. This is worth mentioning in the article itself, but I wouldn't change the extinction date.
