"ya no hay personas que hablan el joaquiniano con fluidez; sólo algunos de los ancianos de la zona recuerdan algo. El Carmen tiene sólo seis personas que hablan perfectamente el carmalito, pero todos ellos exepto uno, son mayores de 70 años." (p. 295) "En el pueblo de Baures y en las comunidades aldeañas, hay por lo menos 60 personas que hablan la lengua con suficiente fluidez y habilidad, pero la mayoría de ellos son mayores de 60 años ... Además, hay un número estimado de 100 a 200 semi-hablantes mayores de 50 años de edad y por lo menos 500 con un conocimiento pasivo de la lengua (probablemente mayores de 40 años. Sin embargo, también hay un número de niños y miembros de las generaciones más jóvenes que aprenden algo de baure de sus abuelos. Todos los hablantes son bilingües en baure y castellano" (p. 296). [there are no people who speak joaquiniano fluently; only some of the elders of the area remember something. El Carmen has only six people who speak carmalito perfectly, but all of them exept one are older than 70.
