Public Comment
"The West Makian language is spoken by an estimated 12,000 people , 7000 of whom live on the western half of Makian Island and the remainder on four islands in the Kayoa group south of Makian: Moari , Lelei , Gunage, and Gafi." This number has likely declined drastically in recent years.
