Mono consists of two dialects, Eastern and Western. The name \"Monachi\" is commonly used in reference to Western Mono and \"Owens Valley Paiute\" in reference to Eastern Mono. In 1925, Alfred Kroeber estimated that Mono had 3,000 to 4,000 speakers. Today, only about 40 elderly people speak Mono as their first language."@en . .
