29574 Nagu 100-999 "The oldest age group (60+), especially the women, almost exclusively uses Nagu; but some of the men also know Pijin, as well as some of the neighboring languages. The middle age group (31–59) is competent in Nagu and Pijin, and will use Nagu with other Nagu speakers and Pijin with both speakers of other languages and with the youngest age group on occasion... Those aged 10 and above understand and speak more Nagu than their parents realize, but those under 10 speak Nagu to a far lesser extent than their elder brothers and sisters. Some of these youngest children heavily mix Pijin with Nagu." Sociological factors in Reefs-Santa Cruz language vitality: a 40 year retrospective On 206 100-999
