Speaking Shikomori: The Basics

Comoros is a beautiful, relatively unknown archipelago of three islands in the Indian Ocean. While a great many people speak French, especially in the capital city of Moroni, the local language Shikomori is more commonly spoken in the villages.
The languages varies on each island , but here are some of the basic Shikomori greetings you'll hear on Grande Comore, the big island.
A special thanks to everyone who helped me compile this rough video.
