Comments on speakers
"[A] test in Sango was applied to the Bayaka of Londo village and Moali camp in 1994 with interesting results. Basically, the forest Bayaka have a higher level of Sango ability than would be expected. Their ability varies by age, gender, and contact with outsiders. "

Location and Context
Countries
Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo
Location Description

"Rain forest of Central African Republic and Congo-Brazzaville, between the Sangha and the Ubangi Rivers (Bahuchet and Thomas 1986:81). More precisely, the Bayaka territory reflects the land that was covered by the forest before deforestation: another 30–70 kilometers beyond the current borders of the forest (personal observation)... It is possible that part of the Bayaka population lives across the Ubangi River in the western Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire). There are Pygmies living in that region, but research still needs to be done as to their language and ethnic identity (Margaret Hill, personal communication 1997)."
