public_comment: "The most vigorous community of speakers today is at the Wikwemikong Reserve on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. There perhaps half of the population of over 3,000 has some fluency in the language. There are also several hundred speakers on Walpole Island and other reserves in Ontario, and in Michigan, where the largest community is on the Isabella Reservation.",

public_comment: "Ethnologue cites Ojibwa figures together with Ottawa counts, making it difficult to see what is meant to refer only to Ottawa.
Canada: 7100 (1996 First Nations Language of Origin Map). Nishnaabemwin is an emergent language, fusion of Ottawa and Eastern Ojibwa [ojg], having a couple thousand speakers (Golla 2007). Ethnic population: 60,000. Total users in all countries: 12,500.
US: 330 Ottawa (1990 census). 5400 in United States (1990 census). 330 Ottawa, 5,070 Ojibwa. Ethnic population: 8,910 (2000 census). 560 Ottawa, 8,350 Ojibwa.",
