In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.
Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.
For people age 3 or older.
[Questions 12-20 are for persons age 3 or older]
12. Indigenous language, 13. Name of indigenous language, 14. Speaks Spanish
These questions find out if some person who lives in the dwelling speaks some dialect or indigenous language, and if so, the name of it and if he/she speaks Spanish as well.
It's important that you emphasize in the phrase of the first question, "Now I want to ask you", so that you are introducing a new theme to the informer.
Always ask the first question, even though you consider that in your work area indigenous languages are not spoken. Record the name of the indigenous language just as you hear it, without using abbreviations.
When the response is "He/she speaks the language", "The one that is spoken in the area", "The one of his/her parents", among others, ask, "What dialect or indigenous language is it?" and record it. If he/she responds: "A little", "Almost none", "A few words", among others, circle code 3.
In the case of the following languages, ask for clarifications: if it's Chontal, ask if it is from Oaxaca or Tabasco; if it's Amuzgo, ask if it's from Oaxaca or Guerrero, and if it's Tepehuano, if it's from Chihuahua or Durango.
Foreign languages like English, French, German, Italian, or Japanese are not indigenous languages.
In question 14, Speaks Spanish, record that he/she doesn't speak it if the answer is "A little", "Almost none", "A few words", among others.
