VERBREITUNG

MEHR ZU SPRACHBESTÄNDIGKEIT

Taba is preferred for household use. Formal situations call for Malay, even if everyone present also speaks Taba. Functional domains for the use of Taba are decreasing. Local population is in decline, and as speakers more to population centers they switch to Malay. Children in this environment only speak Malay. Volcanic eruptions stimulate an accelerated pace of population dispersal.

  A volcanic eruption on Makian Island, transmigrations, the presence of speakers of several other languages in East Makian speaking areas, and the pressure from these and from Indonesian, have taken their toll. It is receding and falling into disuse in several of its areas, and generally undergoing marked structural changes.
