More on context

"Adults over age 55 are the sole speakers of Mono. They speak Mono among friends, during casual conversations, and at local council meetings but use Fulfulde in the home to communicate with members of the younger generations. Even in Kongrong, where most Mono speakers live, public announcements are given in Fulfulde. [...] young people speak French more than they speak Fulfulde [...] grandparents who would prefer that the young people speak Mono, but the young people are uninterested in learning the language of their ancestors."
