Though other sources list the number of speakers as less than 500, Davis (who is the only source with prolonged individual contact with Hoava speakers) reports numbers that are much higher. Davis includes speakers of the Kusaghe dialect, considered by some to be a seperate language. However, even if one removes Kusaghe from the calculations, Davis lists 1,230 Kusaghe speakers, which leaves over 1,100 speakers of the Hoava dialect.
