El Molo is a nearly extinct Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Kenya on the southeastern shore of Lake Turkana. It may be extinct as all speakers in 1994 were over 50. El Molo was thought to be extinct in the middle part of the 20th century, but a few speakers were found in the latter half of that century.[1]
