MORE ON VITALITY

"The Tematean language is rapidly changing and even disappearing in many parts of the island, especially among the younger generation. Instead, North Moluccan Malay is becoming the first language of a large portion of the Tematean population. It seems that Tematean is in better shape on Halmahera."
