COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA

"The Dahalik native speakers have a very positive attitude towards their mother tongue. They state that it has been used by many generations over more than two thousand years, and that it is very important that it should not be forgotten, in order to save its specificity, and their cultural identity."
