More about speakers

According to Consuelo Vengoechea (p.c. 2010), there are about 200 Muinane living in forest settlements, of whom approximately 50 still speak the language. In recent years the armed conflict in Colombia has caused many Muinane to migrate to urban centers, but it is not clear how many of these migrants still speak Muinane. (p.225)
