Dying or not
[edit]The Conclusion portion could be inaccurate, since there is information on Facebook that Awjilah is spoken daily. For old members, Facebook is not known, particularly not in developing countries. It seems that the belief that there are no younger people studying Tagdel is false.

- @Taj.bell: Which "Conclusion portion" are you referring to? This is the page about Tagdal. –Austronesier (talk) 12:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Minor Suggestions
[edit]The facts “Tabarog, spoken by the Iberogan people of the Azawagh valley on the Niger–Mali border.”, “the Iberogan sometimes refer to their language as Tagdal.”, and "Tagdal is an agglutinative language, most likely due to Tuareg influence." do not seem to have references and so it may be beneficial to find a source that states this. There is also the phrase “other researchers consider...”, in the lead which could be made that more specific so that readers know who these researches are. --Kp6244 (talk) 21:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- The first two would be from Rueck and Christiansen (p. 6, p. 5). The third is presumably from Benitez-Torres but... not sufficiently clear, to say the least (the argument is presumably that Tuareg influence promoted the rise of affixation, but Tuareg itself is far from agglutinative). - Lameen Souag (talk) 10:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- The third statement is from Benitez-Torres (p.71): "Tagdal, along with its sister Northern Songhay language, Tadaksahak, is an agglutinative language, or in any case, much more so than Tasawaq and southern Songhay languages. This is most likely due to its Berber influence." I have added a ref. –Austronesier (talk) 12:52, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
