"In speaking to very young children, members of the older -- usually grandparental -- generation frequently use Gooniyandi. Parents usually speak to their children in Kriol... children do generally have some exposure to Gooniyandi, and generally know some of the more comon words... Gooniyandi is thus still in daily use."
- APOYO INSTITUCIONAL
- After the missionaries' censure of the language in the 50s, there have been several attempts at integrating Gooniyandi into education, all short-lived.

- COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA
