  This graph shows the vitality of Noipä.

  • Institutional — The language has been developed to the point that it is used and sustained by institutions beyond the home and community.
  • Stable — The language is not being sustained by formal institutions, but it is still the norm in the home and community that all children learn and use the language.

See also the pages on Development and Endangerment for more discussion.
