Though other sources list the number of speakers as less than 500, Davis (who is the only source with prolonged individual contact with Hoava speakers) reports numbers that are much higher. Davis includes speakers of the Kusaghe dialect, considered by some to be a seperate language. However, even if one removes Kusaghe from the calculations, Davis lists 1,230 Kusaghe speakers, which leaves over 1,100 speakers of the Hoava dialect.

When speaking with Marovo speakers, Hoava speakers switch entirely to Marovo, and Marovo speakers are not expected to speak Hoava. In schools Roviana and Pijin are mostly used. There does not seem to be much attrition, though the use of Roviana and pijin words in Hoava speech has been reported as rising.
