Comments on speakers
"The speakers are all bilingual in the English-based pidgin lingua franca Kriol or in English, and some in the neighbouring [non-Pama-Nyungan] Garawa language. Speakers intermarry with the Garawa or also the [non-Pama-Nyungan] speaking Mara. Children usually speak the mother's language, but at puberty the boys learn and afterwards speak the father's language. Through this, Yanyuwa has been losing young speakers and is now getting endangered."
