Public Comment
"A comparison of the data from the 2001 census [1,130 Mako people] with that from the 2011 one [1,211 Mako people] shows that the size of the group has remained relatively stable. My personal estimate, however, puts the Mako community around over 1,500 people... Mattéi-Müller (personal communication) reports that, out of the 1,211 Makos identified in the 2011 census, 1,078 reported speaking their language while only nine reported not speaking it."
