ISO 639-3: 
mxn

The language transmission between the parent's generation and the children majorly through Indonesian. The language used among the children generation (between 5-12 years old) is mainly Indonesian. However, the communication between the children and the parents or grandparents' generation is fully mixed between Indonesian and the vernacular language. The finding of the wheel of vitality suggested that Moi is shifting (EGIDS 7).

Editorial Action
