"The people in Wasur speak Morori with their parents and during traditional ceremonies, but speak both Morori and Indonesian with their spouses, siblings, friends, and in the fields. They speak only Indonesian at the market, the clinic, in the church service, and in the village’s representative meetings. They speak Indonesian with their spouse and siblings more than their mother tongue."

"Marori language is highly endangered. There are several fluent speakers left, out of a total of 52 families or 119 people. Marori people typically have mixed marriages with Marind and non-Papuan Indonesians such as the Tanimbar people and currently the Javanese. The sociolinguistic survey carried out in 2000 (Sohn, Lebold & Kriens 2009) reports the precarious nature of the language, which I further confirmed when I did my fieldwork in 2008 and 2009. Young Maroris no longer actively speak their language. They may, however, still have passive competence of varying degrees. They almost all speak Indonesian or the local variety of Indonesian/Malay, and also Marind." (p. 151)
