More about speakers

"Due to the rapid decrease in mother tongue transmission, now it is difficult to determine the exact number of Chong speakers. Different studies present different numbers of Chong speakers in Thailand, ranging from merely 500 (Grimes 2000) to about 4000 (Premsrirat et al. 2007)... The younger generation, especially those under 30 years old, cannot speak Chong." (p.603)
