public_comment: ""Le ge-viya (ɣè-βíyà) est une variété linguistique qui est parlée par 400 locuteurs tout au plus (estimation 2012). Néanmoins, seulement quelques dizaines de ces locuteurs parleraient encore couramment cette langue à l’heure actuelle. Tout porte à croire que le geviya est en voie d’extinction totale (Van der Veen 1991a et 1999). ... Among the some 400 (maximum) speakers, there are a very limited number of good (fully fluent) speakers (20? 30?). Most of the some 380 non-fluent speakers are also native speakers but as all Eviya speakers are trilingual (Geviya, Shira, French) the mastery of the language is restricted."",

public_comment: ""The number of Eviya (the speakers of Geviya) is estimated around 400. Because they live on national ground, obtaining precise figures is difficult. In the official censuses led by the Gabonese government, the Eviya are consistently grouped (confused?) with other communities. However, linguists believe that the number of fluent [masterful] speakers does not exceed approximately twenty."",
