EXCERPT FROM SOURCE (p. 241): When [the first author's family] was asked why they insisted on speaking Nuosu to family members, they replied, "It is stupid to speak such a useless language as Namuyi these days. We have to communicate with our Nuosu friends in Nuosu. There are only a very few people who speak Namuyi. It's just like walking off a cliff with your eyes closed if you only speak Namuyi and refuse to speak Nuosu." When the author asked why their two seven year-old children only spoke and understood Chinese, they replied, "Who doesn't want their kids to find a good job, settle down, and have a comfortable family life? We should have our kids learn Chinese to help them find a job, shouldn't we?"
