public_comment: "The speaker number of no more than 600 put forth in Johnstone 1977:x was made during the period when many Harasís had left their region to go and work in oil wells. Since then, the founding of the National park in Jiddat alHarasís provided employment and gave the possibility to many emigrants to come back, and thus putting off the danger of the disappearance of their language which was quite real in the seventies.",
