If you really want to argue about this, you can take it up with the linguistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_death

An extinct language is one that has no speakers, either native or second. A dead language is one that has no native speakers. These are terms that are widely used in the linguistics world and are well-defined, and mean different things.
