Most of China's current languages in 2019 will be either extinct or only have elderly people who speak the language. This trend is especially strong for Mongolic and Tungusic Languages. Korean Language and some of the larger Zhuang languages will increase.

Current smaller Zhuang languages will be either soaked up into Standard Zhuang or into one of the Chinese Languages.

This trend of people becoming assimilated into the Chinese Language has been happening for thousands of years. From their base in Henan, the Chinese Language absorbed many other tribes and people in their expansion over three thousand years. Now here's the list. If the group is not on it, then they are either grouped with a larger group (like the Zhuang) or will have their language most likely be extinct.
