30101 Matís 100-999 "The Ethnologue lists 120 speakers of Matís. The Socioambiental web site lists 239 for this group in 2000 (http://www.socioambiental.org/pib/epienglish/verbetinho/Matis.htm). According to FUNASA (Government Health Department), as reported by one of their employees, there are now 280 Matís (Emsheimer, personal communication, Feb. 1, 2007). The higher figure is likely more accurate since most of these groups appear to be increasing." (pp.11-12) A Survey of the languages of the Javari River Valley, Brazil On >280 100-999
