Comments on speakers
"Native Speakers often refer to TSK simply as... 'Songway language'. This distinguishes the language from the other languages of the immediate area, chiefly Fulfulde (spoken by Fulbe people), along with the little Dogon and Tamashek (Taureg). I have heard the fuller expression... 'mountain Songway language' to distinguish the language from other Songway languages..."
