[3] All of the fluent speakers are elderly and the Miriwoong language is considered to be critically endangered.

However, younger generations tend to be familiar with a lot of Miriwoong vocabulary which they use when speaking Kimberley Kriol or Aboriginal English, and there is active language revitalization.

[5] Miriwoong is categorised by linguists as a Non-Pama-Nyungan language and part of the Jarrakan subgroup.

A significant part of MDWg's revitalisation efforts is the publication of books in Miriwoong.

The largely phonemic orthography of Miriwoong was developed at the Mirima Dawang Woorlab-gerring.

MDWg is working with local organisations to conform to the standardised orthography when Miriwoong is written in documents or signage.
