Interviewer instructions

Question 13

Your mother tongue and other language you master

For each person there are 2 lines for this question. On the first line the repliers' mother tongue is written that will mention the replier himself and on the second line some other language the replier is fluent in is written that is to say he/she can read in that language, write and speak fluently. For the future summarizing of the information the encoding manual is used, which was approved by the RA National Statistical Service.

If the replier finds it difficult to mention any language as his/her mother tongue, then the name of the language which he /she knows better or the language which is usually used in the family must be written.

For the children who don't yet speak, the mother tongue is determined by the parents. The mother tongue of the dumb and deaf is considered to be the language in which they read and write or the one that is used in their household or by which they mostly use in contact with other people.

If the replier doesn't know any language other than his/her mother tongue, "no" is written on the second line.
