Today, the language is known as an endangered language. In particular, UNESCO refers to it as a "definitely endangered" language with approximately 80,000 speakers. It also does not have official language status in Iran. This is because Iran only recognizes Persian as an official language.However, Iran allows the use of minority languages, such as Achomi, in the media and the education system (alongside Persian). Nevertheless, Achomi remains an endangered language with many dialectal differences gradually disappearing because of the domination of Persian.
