Public Comment
"Children no longer speak Garrwa as a first language, although they will acquire some knowledge of Narrative functions of clause linkage in Garrwa lexicon and grammar throughout their lives. Nevertheless, although there are some language maintenance programs in operation, and there are still probably about 100 native speakers of Garrwa, it is likely that Garrwa will cease to be a language of everyday talk in the next generation or so."
