Comments on speakers
"A limited number of the Yugur living in Huangcheng are bilingual in both Western and Eastern Yugur. A small number of Tibetans married into the Yugur community in Huangcheng District speak Tibetan and Eastern Yugur. Most of the Yugur shift to Chinese which serves as a lingua franca."
