Missing 'language of inerview' variable in African surveys [message #3314]

I am trying to assess the language used by the individuals in their daily life and their tribe/ethnic group. In the DHS Model Woman's and Man's questionnaire I have seen that some data is gathered on the language of the questionnaire, the language of the interview, the native language of respondent and whether a translator was needed or not. However, by reading the Coded Manual listing all the variables present in the surveys, this information about language does not seem to be available. Could you please clarify this point to me? I would really benefit from any information about the language in which the interview was held or about which languages the interviewd people could speak.
Thank you!
