Comments on speakers
"A limited number of the Yugur living in Dahe District (大河區) of the western part of Sunan Yugur Autonomous County (肅南裕固族自治縣) in Gansu (甘肅) Province are bilingual in both Western and Eastern Yugur. Most of the Yugur shift to Chinese which serves as a lingua franca as well as medium for school instruction. But in Minghai and Lianhua Townships of Minghua District (明花區), Western Yugur functions as the language of daily communication and is acquired by children as L1."
