"Since there has never been a census of deaf people in Bangkok, the real number of signers is unknown. However, some estimate of the number of signers can be made... Using United Nations estimates for urban areas of 1 person out of every 1,000 person born profoundly deaf or becoming profoundly deaf at an early age, there would be an estimate of 19 deaf people over the age of sixty-five living in the area where OCMSL is used. The estimated number of users of OCMSL therefore is up to 19 remaining users."

All the users are above 65 years old. "OCMSL is currently only used in very limited social situations. Instead MTSL replaces OCMSL in almost all interaction. Because of this situation and because of the extremely small number of users OCMSL is a critically endangered sign language. It is quite likely that if documentation of OCMSL is not completed in one generation that OCMSL will be lost to linguistic study forever, since there is currently no extensive record of OCMSL."

"OCMSL was never used in any schools for deaf people. Currently, all users of OCMSL are also fluent in MTSL. All users of OCMSL are over the age of sixty-five and no younger signers are currently learning OCMSL."
