"The last fluent Sowa speaker died in 2000. Many people in the former Sowa area view the language as part of their cultural heritage and lament its loss, and several local enthusiasts dream of reviving it."

Sowa was spoken on central Pentecost Island. On the west coast, Melsisii River formed Sowa's northern boundary with Apma, and a creek near Levizendam (there is disagreement about exactly which one) formed its southern boundary with Ske. The language's area extended across the island to parallel areas on the east coast.
