public_comment: "(based on the population of Socotra island)
"Nowadays, anyone who visits the island hardly meets a monolingual Soqotran who never speaks Arabic, especially in the main towns. Even in the villages, the young Soqotrans who attend school are fluent in Arabic. The number of monolingual Soqotrans, usually old men and women living in the mountains and remote areas, is decreasing."",
