"Mwotlap is currently thriving, with as many as 2,100 speakers of all ages... Volow can now be considered extinct, since its last fluent speaker (Wanhan) died in 1986... it is still remembered today, at least passively, by its 'last hearer' (Evans 2010: 209), Wanhan's son Wolman."
"[Mwotlap is] still transmitted to children... safe from immediate endangerment."
