"Communication is not a problem in Bayelsa State. Although the state is a multilingual state, speakers of the smaller languages learn and speak the larger languages, especially those near them ... Isoko and Urhobo speakers also understand the Izon language and vice versa. However, English is used as the official lingua franca by the educated people, and Pidgin as the unofficial lingua franca as in the rest of the country."
"Many of the languages of the [Baleysa] state have been developed somewhat. This is due to the efforts of a collaboration between the institutions, the government and the communities."
