Are there any real examples of reversing language shift happening? And by this I mean not just integenerational transmission among a few families, or even in schools, but actual revival of the language as a community language, one used by peers amongst themselves. here's some languages that seem to be holding their ground, but when you look at it deeper, as a percentage of the population (and at least in an Gaelic case, this has been shown to be more important) it keeps dropping, which is not sustainable for long term community use.

So are there any examples where this decline has been reversed, or even arrested? As far as I'm aware, Hebrew is the only example of it and things are quite different now than they were then. I'm looking for actual numbers as well, not just the hype that's often around minority language use, nor classes, etc.
