Informationen von: “Kurrama” . Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre (2009)
"In 2002 there were estimated to be less than 10 Kurrama speakers left. Now, that number will be less but is unknown. There are many more Kurrama people who have a partial or passive understanding of the language. Other people identify as being of Kurrama heritage and do not speak the language or speak other languages after marrying into other language groups."
"Kurrama country is traditionally around the Hamersley Range area from Marandoo and Tom Price to Palm Springs in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Traditional land also extended along Duck Creek, around Boolgeeda Creek, the western arm of the Beasley River down to Cajuput Spring, and around Red Hill."
