"All Baïnounk varieties present strong a priori evidence for being endangered languages and have been analysed as such... it is impossible to predict the future of the languages in light of the limited information... Numbers of speakers and labels for Baïnounk varieties and assumptions on their relatedness are inconclusive and differ widely according to the source."

"The Baïnounk language area is characterised by a complex multilingual situation, and the different varieties are partly in contact with different languages. Depending on their location, rural speakers use two distinct varieties of the Atlantic language cluster Joola (Joola Fogny and Joola Kasa), sometimes additional Joola languages, and/or the Mande language Mandinka. All of them are also fluent to some extent in the national lingua franca Wolof, an Atlantic language, and many speak the official language French. In addition, a Portuguese-based Creole has left traces in the language. As a consequence, the Baïnounk communities exhibit extensive multilingualism as a systematic trait not just of individuals, but of entire speech communities... Interestingly though, speakers of Baïnounk are not generally multilingual in more than one Baïnounk variety."

"Baïnounk Gubaher is spoken by approximately 1,000 people in the village of Djibonker, just south of Ziguinchor, and by several hundred people of the diaspora communities in Dakar and Ziguinchor... The number of migrants from Djibonker and their descendants residing in Dakar has been given as around 400. Especially the first generation, who were born and raised in the village, still speak Gubaher, whereas in the subsequent generations it is often the case that the language is neither understood nor spoken."

In Djibonker, but probably also elsewhere among Baïnounk speakers, it is normal for children to master four languages, and a repertoire of six to ten languages is nothing unusual for an adult person... French and Wolof are increasingly spoken and understood everywhere in Senegal... three of the languages spoken by the inhabitants of Djibonker are themselves only poorly described minority languages: Joola Banjal (Sagna 2008; Tendeng 2007; Bassène 2006), Joola Kujirerai (no sources found) and Bayot (Diagne 2009)."
