There are some 115 households which at least claim part Baka ethnicity, or in which there is at least one competent speaker. These households contain some 652 individuals. There are 10 households where all members are Baka speakers, but 9 of these contain only one person, usually an aging widow, and the tenth only two people. In these households there are 140 Baka speakers."",
