Since the war in Afghanistan, Sawi speakers have been dispersed in refugee camps in Chitral and Dir, and their present number is not known. In 1992 the number of speakers was estimated at 200 households (8000-12000 people).

"Knowledge of the language of Sau, Afghanistan, is not very complete... In August 1989, two men from Sau were interviewed for this study for a few hours one day in Drosh... The respondents said that since the war in Afghanistan all the people of Sau have moved to either the refugee camp near Kalkatak in Chitral or a refugee camp near Timargarha in Dir. A few are also reported to be living in a refugee camp between Drosh and Chitral town in Chitral District... The Sawi-speaking participants involved in this study estimated that before the war there had been 2000 homes accounting for 8000 to 12,000 people."
