MORE ON VITALITY

Near Kasimbar, the Tajio villages are sur- rounded by villages of speakers of other languages. Near Tada, there is no space for new migrants to settle there, and relatively few of the children go to towns for further education and bring back Indonesian linguistic influence, at least for the time being. There the language is safe now, but would have to be regarded as potentially endangered.
