The Salar who live in metropolitan areas don't speak Salar, and their children acquire Chinese languages (either Mandarin or local lingua franca) as their first/native language. Most Salar speakers living in villages are educated in Mandarin; hence they are bilingual in Salar and Chinese languages. They also code-switch a lot between Salar and Chinese.
