Comments on speakers
"Despite a national language status, like every other indigenous language in Gabon, Geviya nowadays is severely threatened with extinction. ... The Eviya all speak at least two indigenous languages: theirs and Eshira (Bantu B41). Many also speak Getsogo (Bantu B31), very close to Geviya. Most of them also speak fluent French. "

Gabon
Location Description

"Geviya is spoken in the central part of Gabon, in one single village located on the right bank of the Ngounié river, opposite the city – prefecture – of Fougamou. Some traces of former villages remain, located out in the bush, east of today’s village. Other speakers of the language now live scattered over large urban centers, Libreville especially."
