Possibly extinct; Semi-speaker number (4) is also questionable; Chiwere dialects: Otoe-Missouria (Jiwere) is the dialect of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe. Iowa (Baxoje) is the dialect of the Iowa Tribe. The total Chiwere population is about 1,150, but in 1999 only four passive first-language speakers of the Otoe-Missouria dialect remained, none fluent.
