Description
LANGNATIVEHH (HV045C) reports the native language of the respondent for the household interview.
Comparability
LANGNATIVEHH (HV045C) uses composite coding, in which the first digit of the code indicates the broad region of the world (e.g., "1" for European languages) and the remaining digits identify the specific language (e.g., "1001" for English). Codes ending in "999" mean "other language" within the broad language group (e.g., "1999" for "Other European language"). Note that the meaning of "other" in this context is sample-specific, meaning "other than the languages recorded for this particular sample."
Comparability - Standard DHS
LANGNATIVEHH (HV045C) is included in the standard DHS household questionnaire beginning in Phase VII. Responses are sample-specific.
