"The people of Atong refer to themselves and their language as 'Etoh.' Members of communities in surrounding language groups also call them by the name 'Etoh.' There is, however, one village among this group called Atong, which might explain why the first researchers chose the name Atong."

"On one hand... the Atong language has a good chance of remaining an integral part of society. On the other hand, there may be difficulty finding potential personnel in the community to carry out a language project."
