Public Comment
"Baïnounk Gubaher is spoken by approximately 1,000 people in the village of Djibonker, just south of Ziguinchor, and by several hundred people of the diaspora communities in Dakar and Ziguinchor... The number of migrants from Djibonker and their descendants residing in Dakar has been given as around 400. Especially the first generation, who were born and raised in the village, still speak Gubaher, whereas in the subsequent generations it is often the case that the language is neither understood nor spoken."
