Ilocano language decline

It depends what you mean by dying out and by being in a bad condition. Let me make up a hypothetical example. Suppose there is a current language called Talkiblab. Talkiblab currently has 12,083,446 speakers. Suppose that it’s losing 1,927 speakers a year and will continue to do exactly that for a long time. Then it will die out in 6,271 years. Is that dying out? Is that a bad condition?

Now, it’s impossible to make any predictions (unless they are something like “The sun will continue coming up each morning”) over the next 6,271 years. In fact, my personal rule is that you shouldn’t take any political prediction (and a prediction about the future of a language is political) seriously unless it’s about something that will happen in the next five years, and you shouldn’t take even a political prediction about the next five years seriously unless it’s from someone without strong personal political feelings who’s trained in forecasting. So a political prediction about what will happen in the next 6,271 years is useless.
