public_comment: ""Dahalo is a language spoken in the Lamu district of Coast Province, Kenya, by a few hundred people of all ages [...] Concerning the actual number of Dahalo speakers, it is calculated in "a few hundreds" by Ehret (1980: 12), about 500 (followed by a question mark) by Sasse (1981: 199), while Zaborski "could estimate about 280 of them, though the upper limit may be about 400" (1987: 223-234). The same estimate of "less than 400" is made by Art Rilling of the Kenya Working Group of the Summer Institute of Linguistics... (Rilling 1986: 5). We think that the figure of 400 cannot greatly exceed the truth."",
