More about speakers

Speaker number: Spoken by elders in all the communities. The language is spoken by elders in all the communities, and there were monolingual speakers at Tobacco Plains and Bonners Ferry as recently as the 1980s. With a few exceptions, the youngest first-language speakers are in their 50s, and even some of them have more of a passive knowledge of the language than active fluency.
