"… [A] greater percent of older respondents said they spoke their own languages best than did the younger generation. This was particularly true of the !Goro, Yeyi and Nambya. This indicates that these languages may be undergoing a rapid shift… to Tswana or other languages."

"Yeyi and Danisi show serious signs of losing vitality since children and young adults rarely speak them."

"The evaluation of questionnaires concerning bilingualism among speakers with a non-Tswana background clearly showed that, especially in areas closer to the district capital Maun, bilingualism in an ethnic language (e.g. Shiyeyi) and Setswana is gradually being abandoned in favour of Tswana monolingualism."

"...recordings of narrated Yeyi texts from places other than Shorobe indicate that there elderly people (especially women) still stuck to story-telling as a means of transmitting Yeyi knowledge to the younger Setswana-speaking generation."

"It was thus discovered that in Shorobe, a village with a vast majority of Yeyi community members, Setswana was used almost exclusively not only in inter-ethnic conversations (e.g. communal beer-drinking with Tswana-speakers originating from outside Ngamiland) but also in family-internal everyday conversation in Yeyi households. Only elderly women, who still master the Yeyi language beside Setswana, occasionally made use of Yeyi insertions when casually discussing among themselves most recent events in the village."
