"In 2001, Sambe was spoken by six people, three men and three women. All of these are extremely aged and the principal informant was said to be over 90 years old... Many other people of a slightly younger age have some knowledge of the language and can produce isolated words, but were apparently never fluent speakers. In 2005, Sambe was only spoken by two people, Atsar Amúsha, a man said to be ninety years old, and his wife, Àkutá Àbɔ, said to be eighty five."
