Comments on speakers
"Il s’agit, selon Attayoub et Walentowitz (2001) d’une langue sacrée, de respect et d’affection, donc ayant une valeur très positive aux yeux de ses locuteurs, ce qui expliquerait sa propension à être conservée... En effet, comme le précisent Attayoub et Walentowitz (2001), le tetserret, de par son rôle d’outil de diffusion de la religion, a acquis un statut de langue ‘sacrée’, et par conséquent, est aussi considéré comme une langue de 'respect' envers les ancêtres... Dans le même sens, la langue est aussi garante d’un rang social élevé des personnes qui la parlent."
