MORE ON VITALITY

"The Yem people have a very positive attitude towards their mother tongue and are convinced that their language will be used throughout generations and that it will not be forgotten. However, some are aware of the fact that there are Yem people who do not speak their mother tongue any more. They referred to them as 'those who live outside the Yem District,' or 'those mixed with Oromo.' Several times we were told that someone who stays in the Yem District will not forget his language, but if he leaves his area, he may give it up."

ATTITUDE DES LOCUTEURS

Very positive.
