KOMMENTARE ZUM SPRACHKONTEXT
"The Ganza believe that, if they are taught well, it would be good for them to read and write in their mother tongue. Ganza is good to speak in their area. Young people are proud of the Ganza language, and they love it. It is significant to the Ganza that their language is passed from generation to generation. They would like to have stories about their history available in their language. They feel that Ganza would be the best language for a teacher to use in school, but there is no one to teach it."
