There is not much mention of it on the web. The other Salishan languages
get more attention.

But from http://www.sil.org/ethnologue/countries/Cana.html#THP :

THOMPSON (NTLAKAPMUK) [THP] 500 or fewer speakers out of a population of
3,000 (1977 SIL). British Columbia, south central. Salishan, Interior
Salish, Northern. Most speakers are middle-aged or older, bilingual in
English. Language courses in Thompson (1991). Grammar, dictionary.
