Amol

I have done extensive field work on Srenge/Aruop [lsr], the immediate neighbour of Mol [alx] and have spent at least three hours collecting data for Mol. Speakers of the languages and of neighbouring languages insist that the initial 'A' in the primary name 'Amol' used by Ethnologue is an error, that the language is called 'Mol', never 'Amol'. Ethnologue changed the name for Oru to Amol after a visit by an SIL team to Sibilanga (the central Srenge village) in 2004 but somehow the initial 'A' got inserted in error. Speakers of Mol call their language Mol, while speakers of adjacent languages normally call it Oru. I do not believe that there are any speakers under the age of 30 and the language loss is being accelerated by the fact that ten years ago, the majority of mothers in Yinungen, one of the two primary Mol-speaking village, were actually native speakers of Srenge, the adjacent language, so many children were exposed to Srenge more than to Mol.
