To the anonymous user 213.157.194.83: your numbers and the statement about ethnic identity do not agree with the sources I have found, including the paper listed in the page. If you disagree, please provide supporting references.

To 213.157.193.*: apparently the facts (esp. numbers of speakers) which you have repeatedly placed on this page are in disagreement with the sources originally found by the authors of this article. Please either state here your sources and/or your rationale for continually placing these facts here or cease continued altering of this page. -- Grunt 01:36, 2004 Jun 14 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Speakers

I wonder about the number of speakers. What's the source for the number given in the page? Ethnologue gives 33,000 speakers (1980), Andrews (1989) gives 45,000 speakers, Feuerstein (1983) 250,000 speakers, Holisky (1991) estimates it between 50,000 and 500,000. I'll change it to 45,000 to 500,000, since that's what's more credible, plus it's sourced. — N-true 21:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
