Interviewer instructions
Question 8:- What is [the respondent]'s Mother Tongue?
Mother tongue is the language that the person used to communicate with his household or parents during childhood. By asking the mother tongue of the person, the appropriate code should be recorded in the boxes provided based on the list of the codes of the language prepared in this manual and this code should be shaded appropriately.
To identify easily the names and codes of the languages, two lists of languages, that is, "list of names and codes for the main languages "and" list of names and codes for the branch languages" are given in pages 47 to 50 of this manual. The recording of the codes on the languages will be as follows.
The code of the language responded by the respondent should be recorded in the boxes provided and this code should be appropriately shaded. If there are people who do not want to tell their mother tongue, please, as far as possible, try to get the right answers by asking the respondents politely.
The appropriate code of the language responded by the respondent should be recorded in the boxes provided by taking the code from the list of the main languages. If it is difficult to find the code of the language from this list, it is possible to find the code of the language from the list of names and codes of branch languages.
A. List of names and codes of main languages
All languages are listed in this list and their settings are based on the main languages. The related languages and branch languages of the main language are given in bracket because they are given the same code. For example, "Chehagna", "Ezhagna", "Gumerigna" and "Enemorigna" are given in bracket under the main language "Guragigna" which is written outside the bracket because these languages are the branch languages of "Guragigna". To identify easily from the list, the main languages are listed in alphabetical order.
B. List of names and codes of branch languages
This list is prepared to list down alphabetically the related languages or branch languages of the main language listed in bracket under "the list of names and codes of the main Languages" (For example, Chehagna, Ezhagna, Gumerigna, Enamorigna). The main languages (for example Afarigna, Welaytigna) written outside the bracket alphabetically in the list of name and codes of the main languages are not listed again is this list.
The respondent responded may be the main or the branch language. If the response is main language, the code of the main language will be recorded, but if the response is branch language, the code of the main language should be recorded by identifying which one is its main or stem language. For example, if the response is "Chehagna" code "36" should be recorded in the boxes provided because the stem language of "Chehagna" is "Guragigna" and this code should be appropriately shaded.
If any other language is mentioned out of the list of the languages given, code "91" the code for "Other Ethiopian Languages" should be recorded in the space provided and this code should be appropriately shaded.
For infants or for persons who could not speak, the code of the language that is usually spoken in the household will be recorded.
If there are people who have forgotten totally their mother tongue or who could speak other language more than their mother tongue, the code of the language of their mother tongue should be recorded in the boxes provided.
For foreign language, if the mother tongue of the respondent is English, code "92" should be recorded in the boxes provided but if the mother tongue is another foreign language other than English, code "93" the code given for "other foreign language" should be recorded and this code should be appropriately shaded.
Remarks:-
Letters from "A" to "Z" listed in the list of the languages are used to facilitate the identification of the language from the list but they will not be recorded with the codes of the languages.
Code "13" should be recorded in this question for the people reside in Benishangul-Gumuz region and whose mother tongues are Arabic Language. But code "93" should be recorded for the people reside in other areas and whose mother tongues are Arabic language.

Mother tongue is the language that the person used to communicate with his household or parents during childhood. By asking the mother tongue of the person, the appropriate code should be recorded in the boxes provided based on the list of the codes of the language prepared in this manual and this code should be shaded appropriately.
To identify easily the names and codes of the languages, two lists of languages, that is, "list of names and codes for the main languages "and" list of names and codes for the branch languages" are given in pages 47 to 50 of this manual. The recording of the codes on the languages will be as follows.
The code of the language responded by the respondent should be recorded in the boxes provided and this code should be appropriately shaded. If there are people who do not want to tell their mother tongue, please, as far as possible, try to get the right answers by asking the respondents politely.
The appropriate code of the language responded by the respondent should be recorded in the boxes provided by taking the code from the list of the main languages. If it is difficult to find the code of the language from this list, it is possible to find the code of the language from the list of names and codes of branch languages.
A. List of names and codes of main languages
All languages are listed in this list and their settings are based on the main languages. The related languages and branch languages of the main language are given in bracket because they are given the same code. For example, "Chehagna", "Ezhagna", "Gumerigna" and "Enemorigna" are given in bracket under the main language "Guragigna" which is written outside the bracket because these languages are the branch languages of "Guragigna". To identify easily from the list, the main languages are listed in alphabetical order.
B. List of names and codes of branch languages
This list is prepared to list down alphabetically the related languages or branch languages of the main language listed in bracket under "the list of names and codes of the main Languages" (For example, Chehagna, Ezhagna, Gumerigna, Enamorigna). The main languages (for example Afarigna, Welaytigna) written outside the bracket alphabetically in the list of name and codes of the main languages are not listed again is this list.
The respondent responded may be the main or the branch language. If the response is main language, the code of the main language will be recorded, but if the response is branch language, the code of the main language should be recorded by identifying which one is its main or stem language. For example, if the response is "Chehagna" code "36" should be recorded in the boxes provided because the stem language of "Chehagna" is "Guragigna" and this code should be appropriately shaded.
If any other language is mentioned out of the list of the languages given, code "91" the code for "Other Ethiopian Languages" should be recorded in the space provided and this code should be appropriately shaded.
For infants or for persons who could not speak, the code of the language that is usually spoken in the household will be recorded.
If there are people who have forgotten totally their mother tongue or who could speak other language more than their mother tongue, the code of the language of their mother tongue should be recorded in the boxes provided.
For foreign language, if the mother tongue of the respondent is English, code "92" should be recorded in the boxes provided but if the mother tongue is another foreign language other than English, code "93" the code given for "other foreign language" should be recorded and this code should be appropriately shaded.
Remarks:-
Letters from "A" to "Z" listed in the list of the languages are used to facilitate the identification of the language from the list but they will not be recorded with the codes of the languages.
Code "13" should be recorded in this question for the people reside in Benishangul-Gumuz region and whose mother tongues are Arabic Language. But code "93" should be recorded for the people reside in other areas and whose mother tongues are Arabic language.
