El ocaina es una lengua seriamente amenazada de extinción. Efectivamente, solo queda una cincuentena de hablantes fluidos de la generación de los abuelos y aproximadamente, otros cincuenta adultos entre los 35 y 45 años que poseen algún tipo de competencia para la comprensión y pasiva para la expresión. Por tal razón, esta lengua ya no es transmitida a los niños y ha sido desplazada por el castellano, que es hoy la lengua primera de las jóvenes generaciones. Uno de los últimos bastiones de esta lengua es el ámbito ritual y ceremonial (p.88).
[Ocaina is a seriously endangered language. Indeed, there is only fifty fluent speakers of the grandparents generation and about fifty adults between 35 and 45 who have some competence for passive understanding and for expression. For this reason, this language is no longer transmitted to children and has been displaced by the Spanish, which today is the first language of the younger generation. One of the last bastions of this language is the ritual and ceremonial area.]
