Information from: “How many languages were spoken in Australia?” . Claire Bowern (2011)
Although the number of speakers is very small, Gurr-goni is still being learned by children in a multilingual environment. This is an area which has been multilingual for many generations, and where speaking multiple languages is prized. It's more appropriate to class the language as "fragile" rather than "critically endangered".
Information from: “A Grammar of Gurr-goni (North Central Arhem Land)” . Green, Rebecca (1995)
"Gurr-goni speakers presently number about 40."
