public_comment: "The last fluent speaker of Island Comox died in the mid-1990s. Although in the early 1980s Mainland Comox was reported to be spoken fluently by about one-third of the population, in 2000 it was estimated that there were 60 or fewer active first-language speakers, most of them 55 or older, in a total population of 1,500.",
