Speaker numbers vary extensively for this language depending on whether the Western (and Central) Torres language is counted as a single language, or whether different numbers of speakers are given for Kalaw Kawaw Ya and Kala Lagaw Ya. There is a sizable ex-pat community in Brisbane and they are working on a language program. The language transmission is fragile, but speakers are strong. Younger speakers are texting in the language, for example.

"Outside the Kala Lagaw Ya language area, those younger than thirty are likely to speak Torres Strait Creole. Kala Lagaw Ya is now potentially endangered."
Torres Strait Creole
"There are about 4,000 or so fluent speakers in the Torres Strait area. Others have moved to the Queensland mainland, particularly to cities such as Townsville and Brisbane."
