Information from: “Challenges and Prospect of Maintaining Rongga: an Ethnographic Report” . I Wayan Arka (2004)
"Community-internal and community-external factors for language maintenance or loyalty
disadvantage Rongga. The following combined factors impose heavy pressure on Rongga:
a negative attitude towards their language, the small size of the population, unstable
bilingualism favouring Indonesian, unhelpful national and regional/local settings (e.g. the national language policy, its non lingua franca status, low participation in regional
politics)."
"Rongga is relatively healthy only in certain places at the moment, particularly in its core
interior territories, e.g. the southern part of the village of Bamo, but it is endangered in
other parts,such asin Tanarata. The prospect of itssurvival appearsto be quite faintsince
even Rongga in the interior parts is now under serious threat due to the opening of a big
new road and also an upgrade of the existing ones for a mining project."
Spoken mainly in the villages of
Tanarata, Bamo, and Watunggene, Kota Komba sub-district, in the regency of West Flores or Manggarai.
