Like Peshpeg, Golahát is an endangered language; according to the 2010 census, less than one thousand people still speak the language, the youngest in their late 30's or early 40's. ín Duari has fared better than Peshpeg, which has only a few hundred speakers at most. Nevertheless, ín Duari continues to lose speakers due to several factors, such as the influx of Minhast speakers into traditionally Golahát-speaking areas, emigration by the younger generation to urban areas in search for employment, and the influence of the Minhast-dominated media. | Like Peshpeg, Golahát is an endangered language; according to the 2010 census, less than one thousand people still speak the language, the youngest in their late 30's or early 40's. ín Duari has fared better than Peshpeg, which has only a few hundred speakers at most.

Ín Duári is divided into several mutually intelligible dialects. The Anzi dialect is best attested, however an unofficial lingua franca based on the Enoţin dialect has recently spread as its speaker base has been least affected by the diaspora resulting from Wolf Speaker expansion. The Gæţwin dialect, although considered a minor dialect, is found in most linguistic literature regarding phonology: its phonology and phonotactics best reflects those of the majority of the other dialects. | |||
