20,000
Aunque actualmente existen 20.000 persons de esta etnia, el añú ha cesado la transmission inter-generacional y, al paraecer, solo la recuerdan contadísimas personas de edad muy avanzada y es de presumir que, incluso estas personas, conozcan la lengua de modo muy fragmentario. La única excepción parece ser Jofris Márquez … que la aprendió de su finada abuela. (p.130.)
