"[In towns,] the Bayso have to deal with people belonging to economically and politically more powerful people, such as the Wolayta, the Gamo and the Guji-Oromo. Multilingualism towards the latter’s languages and to Amharic, which remains the language of trade and education, makes the Bayso language useless in public."
"[The Bayso people] live in the North Omo Zone (capital: Arba Minch), which is found in the Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Federal State (capital: Awasa), some 500km south of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. The Bayso inhabit the island of Gidiccho, the biggest island in Lake
Abbaya [...] The Bayso village is found
in the southern tip of the island."
