"In general, we found that the majority of the Argobba citizens of this area do not actually speak Argobba. They speak Amharic instead, and this is their native language... it is a language whose present status neither is 'dead' nor healthily 'alive'—but a 'language' on the verge of extinction."
"Argobba people of Shewa-Robit and the surrounding areas speak Amharic as their L1, and some of the younger people acquire a 'broken' Argobba from the elderly people. The elderly people themselves are not very confident about their proficiency in Argobba. Some of them remarked that they very often 'mix' Argobba and Amharic. They also said that Amharic predominates over Argobba and that, as a result, they were not able to fully use and maintain Argobba."
