Comments on speakers
"In order to communicate with those of surrounding languages, Jimi speakers use Fulfulde, a language of wider communication. ... Jimi speakers share common origins with those of Gude, and they consider themselves to be one people with Gude speakers. They also share in celebrations with Gude speakers and frequently marry Gude speakers. ... Students use French for all aspects of schooling—that is, in-class instruction as well as during times of recreation."
