Comments on speakers
"The Arabic-medium education, and the multilingualism in which Arabic is the only available lingua franca, must have played the lion’s share in the process of language shift in Dilling City and among the Dilling speech community. [...] Arabic has supplanted ethnic languages in almost all domains of communication. Arabic is used predominantly in the home, outside of the home and on social occasions. Positive attitudes towards Arabic appear to have played a major role in the processes of language shift that have occurred in the region."
