MORE ON VITALITY

"Seriously threatened and doomed to extinction in the near future."

MORE ON VITALITY

"The imminent disappearance of the language appears to be due mainly to the fact that Bayot speakers have been disseminated into foreign areas, as a result of the long lasting conflicts and rebellion against the Senegalese government in their home area. In the diaspora Bayot people apparently avoid using their first language."
