- LANGUAGE CONTEXT COMMENTS
"The second language of Tebul Ure speakers is Jamsay Tegu and many also know Yanda. Fulfulde, a dominant language in the zone, is not very well known and there is a limited amount of French spoken, usually by migrant workers or students. In addition to the spoken language, a sign language exists in Uluban and related hamlets, which is used to
communicate with a small number of deaf individuals. Almost all the inhabitants seem to have some fluency in this sign language and videos were made of a number of narratives with ‘translation’ into Tebul Ure and French."
