Cultural Survival

Survival of the Orogen culture looks highly unlikely.  With a declining population and few being able to speak the language, this culture could be on the brink of extinction.  There are only a couple hundred who still know the Orogen language.  It is no longer a language that is first taught to a child as his or her first language.  Those who do know the language are in the later years of their lives, so in the next fifty or so years the Orogen language could become extinct.

The Orogen do, however, try to maintain peaces of their culture through their crafts and clothing.
