The language is spoken in two locations: by approximately 25% of the 900 enrolled members within the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana and by another small group of members of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. The language is endangered in both communities. A few individuals in their twenties understand the language and can converse, but regular use of the language is common only among those over the age of 50.
