Daba language
open-in-new
<h2 id="documentation-and-resources">Documentation and Resources</h2> <p>Efforts have been made to record and save the Daba language, which include the creation of a dictionary that translates between Daba, French, and Fulfulde. The purpose of this glossary is to aid both native speakers and language learners. This initiative is a component of a broader endeavor aimed at recording and cataloging languages spoken by minority groups. The primary objective is to create accessible educational and preservation materials.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="language-status">Language Status</h2> <p>The Daba language is classified as vulnerable. This status suggests that the language is still in use, but it is confronted with obstacles that could potentially jeopardize its continued existence. These challenges may encompass the influence of more dominant languages, such as French and Fulfulde, and socio-economic changes that promote the adoption of other languages.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="notes">Notes</h2> <ul><li>J.
