"The Egyptian census of 2006, viewable at http://www.msrintranet.capmas.gov.eg/pls/census/cnsest_a_sex_ama?LANG=1&lname=0&YY=2006&cod=33&gv=, gives a population of 15,886 for Siwa, if we include the small Siwi-speaking town of Gara and exclude the Bedouin Arabic-speaking small villages of Maraqi and Bahayeldin to the east. A minority of non-Siwi Egyptians is also found in the town, reducing the figure slightly, but no estimate of their population is available."

- COMENTÁRIOS SOBRE O CONTEXTO DO IDIOMA
"Nearly all Siwis speak Arabic as a second language from an early age; their dialect typically tends to be closer to Bedouin Arabic, although better-educated Siwis lean more towards Cairene Arabic. Some ambitious Siwis expressed negative attitudes towards the language, saying that if the kids spoke Arabic it would be better for their educational and political prospects, but I did not encounter any instance of this being put into practice."

- DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE
"Siwi (siwi or žlan n isiwan) is a Berber language spoken at the oasis of Siwa in western Egypt (Matrūħ Province), about 500 km west of the Nile and 250 km south of the Mediterranean coast, by a little less than 15,000 people, forming a majority of the oasis' population. The nearest Egyptian oasis, Bahariyya, is some 350 km east of Siwa. Siwi is also spoken at the tiny oasis of Gāra near Siwa, and I was told of a multigenerational Siwi community at nearby Jaghbūb in Libya."
