Cocopa was originally spoken by the people of the lowermost Colorado River and its delta. It is spoken today by between 150 and 300 of the approximately 700 members of the Cocopah Tribe, who have a reservation near Yuma, Arizona, and an equal or greater number of Mexican Cucapás in communities in Baja California and Sonora. In Arizona, most Cocopas over 50 are fluent, and a number of younger people are semi speakers, including at least some children.
