Just for kicks I went down the 2006-2008 "Detailed Language Spoken At Home List" to find the language with the fewest speakers. Verdict: Siuslaw, with four speakers.
Wikipedia says Siuslaw's been extinct since the 1970s. If these people are actually speaking Siuslaw that'd be a phenomenal opportunity for research. I wonder if there are any other supposedly-extinct languages on there?
