"Since there has never been a census of deaf people in Bangkok, the real number of signers is unknown. However, some estimate of the number of signers can be made... Using United Nations estimates for urban areas of 1 person out of every 1,000 person born profoundly deaf or becoming profoundly deaf at an early age, there would be an estimate of 495 deaf people over the age of sixty-five living in the area where OBSL is used."

"OBSL is currently only used in very limited social situations. Instead MTSL replaces OBSL in almost all interaction. Because of this situation, OBSL is a highly endangered sign language. It is quite likely that if documentation of OBSL is not completed in one generation that OBSL will be lost to linguistic study forever, since there is currently no extensive record of OBSL."

"OBSL was never used in any schools for deaf people. Currently, all users of OBSL are also fluent in MTSL. All users of OBSL are over the age of sixty-five and no younger signers are currently learning OBSL."

The only people who have any knowledge of OBSL are people over the age of sixty. These older signers are bilingual in OBSL and Modern Thai Sign Language, but now they rarely use OBSL. It is quite likely that if documentation of OBSL is not completed in one generation that OBSL will be lost to linguistic study forever, since there is currently no extensive record of OBSL.
