"All fluent speakers who use Miriwoong as their first language are 60 years of age or older."
"The first revitalisation efforts go back to the early 1970s when a group of Miriwoong elders formed the Mirima Council and started a number of initiatives, including working with a linguist."
"All fluent speakers who use Miriwoong as their first language are 60 years of age or older. There are only a handful of moderately fluent speakers in the 40–60 age group but Miriwoong is not their primary language and they do not have comprehensive grammatical proficiency."
"Based on the Language Endangerment Status Indicator from the National Indigenous
Languages Survey Report (Australian Institute of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Studies 2005), Miriwoong can be classified as severely to critically endangered."

Miriwoong people prefer not to have their language used off-country, but work is in progress in the Kununurra region, including language classes and activities to increase intergenerational transmission.
