"I estimate there are 30 people aged 40 and above who live in and around Katherine, and regularly speak Wardaman to each other and to other Aboriginal people with whom they live... Additionally, there is a much larger number of people - possible numbering as many as two hundred - who understand Wardaman and consider hearing it spoken around them a regular feature of their lives."
"Younger Wardaman people - in my observation, including at least everyone born after the Second World War - do not speak the language actively, but use at most the occasional word and phrase."

"Wardaman people now mainly live around and in Katherine town, although some people who either identify themselves as Wardaman, or consider that identity a major component of their family background, live on stations and in other places in the Victoria River region (including Killarney, Kildurk, and Bulla Stations, Wave Hill, and Yarralin)."

"In 1983, perhaps fifty speakers were reported. The number of speakers is lower now."
