"A relatively recent estimate of the number of Ordos speakers was 100,000, but I would assume that most of these already speak a language mixed with regular Mongolian."

MORE ON SPEAKER NUMBERS
"The current number of Ordos speakers is unknown, since the Ordos Mongols are not distinguished from the rest of the Monggol nationality in official Chinese censuses. A field survey made in the mid-1950s (Todaeva) established, however, a figure of approximately 64,000 Ordos Mongols. The present population must be larger, though linguistic assimilation (by both Chinese and Mongol proper) may have reduced the percentage of native language speakers. A possible estimate for the present day might, then, be less than 100,000 speakers."
