==Preservation== {{as of|June 2020}}, only about half of the 1,400 Guugu Yimithirr people speak the language, with mostly only grandparents being fluent speakers. Hope Vale [[Aboriginal elder|elders]] are helping to create video tutorials on teaching Guugu Yimithirr, which are being uploaded to [[YouTube]], while the local school, Hope Vale Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy, has a language program in its curriculum. With the schools closed and learning being done in the home, using the online videos, during the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Australia]], adults as well as younger siblings have been learning the language alongside the schoolchildren.<ref name=mounter/>
