COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA: "It is also curious that the Bakuhane have a high percentage of proficiency in Setswana... and relatively high percentage in English. This could be explained partly by their dependence on Setswana due to their small numbers, as they are no more that 6,000 speakers (Andersson and Janson 1997: 106) and partly because of the regular interaction with foreigners, including tourists, in the Chobe area."

"The language seems to be holding its own quite well at present. It is the language used by everyone in daily life in many villages of the Chobe area."

Ortografía

"There is a tentative orthography in Namibia. In Botswana, there do not seem to be people who are literate in the language... However, literate users of Sesubiya seem to find it fairly easy to use the spelling conventions of Setswana to put Sesubiya in writing."

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA UBICACIÓN: "Spoken by the Basubiya. In Botswana, this group of people is found in the north, mainly in the Chobe district, from Kasane westwards and southwards. There are also some in scattered areas in Ngamiland. However, Basubiya are also found north of the Chobe district, in the Caprivi strip of Namibia, and even further north in southernmost Zambia."
