Until recently it was thought that Omagua speakers above 40 years of age used to understand their parents, but no longer speak the language themselves. According to Lev Michael (p.c. 2010), however, in Peru only two speakers still remain today (possibly more in Brazil).

During the course of fieldwork carried out in the summers of 2010 and 2011 in San Joaquín de Omaguas and the urban center of Iquitos by UC Berkeley linguists Zachary O'Hagan, Clare Sandy, Tammy Stark and Vivian Wauters, 7 Omagua speakers were located, ranging in age from (at the time of writing) 75 to 92. Additional speakers may live in San Joaquín de Omaguas, nearby San Salvador de Omaguas (the two principal Omagua communities in Peru from the latter 19th century onward) and in the area surrounding Tefé, Brazil (Grenand & Grenand 1997).
