The Bolgo language is a member of the Bua languages spoken in south-central Chad, in the villages of Koya, Boli, Gagne, and
Bedi southeast of Melfi, by about 1,800 people (SIL 1993. ) According to de Rendinger, it has two principal dialects, Bolgo
Werel around Daguela and Bolgo Mengo around Aloa-Niagara, as well as a dialect called Bolgo Bormo; according to the Ethnologue,
its principal dialects are called Bolgo Dugag and Bolgo Kubar (small and great Bolgo. ) Great Bolgo is spoken to the north,
bordering Mogum and Saba; Little Bolgo is spoken to the south, bordering the closely related language Koke as well as Chadian
Arabic. Its typical word order is subject–verb–object, noun–adjective, aspect–verb, possessor–possessed. There is no true
plural, but -gi serves as a collective marker. The verb is negated with ta, placed at the end of the sentence. Example sentences:
in-nāṇ rīm nāṇ n'ini (give-me water I drink), give me water to drink ibéri koko ao léti (man marry woman two), the man married
two women. |
