The most reliable data comes from the ''Enquête famille'' carried out by ] (360,000 in the 1962 census) as part of the 1999 ], but they give a somewhat indirect picture of the current situation (see ] for a discussion of this survey). Approximately 78,000 people were reported to speak Lorraine Franconian, but fewer than 50,000 passed basic knowledge of the language on to their children. Another statistic illustrating the same point is that of all adult men who used Franconian regularly when they were 5, less than 30% use (or used) the language regularly with their own children.<ref>Héran</ref> |
