According to Holton (2003), "Outside of the regional center of Tobelo town, Tobelo is still learned as a first language and still spoken as the language of every-day communication. Indeed, in many villages school teachers who do not speak Tobelo are frustrated by the lack of fluency in Malay among school-age children. However, in Tobelo town itself the situation is rapidly changing.
