"In the year 2000, the village of Bengkala was home to 2,186 individuals, of whom 47 were deaf... as many as two-thirds of the hearing community members use Kata Kolok, albeit with varying degrees of proficiency (Marsaja 2008). A demographic survey completed in 2008 has indicated that the village population has increased to 2,740 (Astika 2008). Assuming that the proportion of hearing signers has remained constant, Kata Kolok could be currently used by up to 1,800 hearing signers."

"Interestingly, in response to this imminent threat, the Deaf Alliance--a team of deaf and hearing villagers who advocate the interests of the deaf villagers and their relatives--have supported the establishment of Kata Kolok-based deaf education. This inclusive education programme takes the form of a deaf unit within one of the village's elementary schools and is currently attended by eight deaf children."
