Public Comment
"[Ekinata] is a language spoken by about 50,000 people in Serengeti and Bunda districts of Mara Region in northern Tanzania [...] Many people who live in Motukeri village settlements but are not native speakers of [Ekinata] have varying degrees of proficiency in the language. Generally, while those who are 50 years old or above show active knowledge and better proficiency of the language, those below this age, many of whom were born in this area, have passive knowledge and exhibit poor proficiency of the language."
