The most important indicator for whether a language is dying or not is how many children are still acquiring it. Usually when it's below 30% people will consider it endangered. But generally speaking, the fewer speakers you have in the first place, the easier you'll end up in a situation like that..

I believe what you read is that there are only 100 native speakers. Big difference.

Last time I heard, there were around 80 native Manchu speakers and one of them started to teach Manchu in China.

The Sibe / Sibo were a people who speak a language closely related to Manchu in Xinjiang.
