More about speakers

"On peut estimer à une centaine, tout au plus, le nombre de locuteurs le pratiquant encore au quotidien [...] l’okande ne sera probablement plus parlé avant la fin de ce siècle. L’okande se présente comme une langue moribonde, parlée par une génération âgée et comptant un nombre de locuteurs peu élevé."

More on context

"Il n’y a en effet aucun document officiel en okande. L’okande est une langue qui n’est présente ni dans l’administration, ni dans les écoles ou les médias. En revanche, l’okande se véhicule encore à travers des contes ou des récits, qui ne concernent cependant qu’une faible audience. Au Gabon, les locuteurs de langues minoritaires ont une mauvaise opinion de leur langue."
