Most of the speakers of the Omaha dialect live in Macy and Walthill in rural southeastern Nebraska. There are fewer than 50 fluent first language speakers, the youngest about 60, and a larger number of semi-speakers and second-language learners. The Ponca dialect is spoken by about 35 elderly people in the Red Rock area of south central Oklahoma.
