The western dialect (Wetsuwet’en) has about 100 fluent speakers, none of them children. An additional 100 or more are passive speakers, including a few children. The eastern dialect (“Babine proper”) has up to 200 speakers of all degrees of fluency out of a total population of 250. However, there are few speakers under 25, though some children have a passive knowledge none are active speakers.
