"Adults speak Fulfulde almost exclusively. Except for the few who speak the mother tongue, older adults primarily speak Fulfulde. The younger people, according to those interviewed, are favoring French over Fulfulde, since French is the language of education... Younger Dama are ashamed of their language, and they no longer learn to speak the language."
