Jam Sai (sometimes spelled Jamsay) is one of the Dogon languages spoken in Mali, and the only one spoken in Burkina Faso apart
for a few villages of Tomo Kan. It is one of the plains languages spoken in Dogon villages outside the Bandiagara Escarpment
(the cliffs that the Dogon ethnic group is usually associated with). It is a major language in Koro, at the south end of the
escarpment, and stretches as far north as Douentza. It is not mutually intelligible with other Plains Dogon languages, but
is widely known as the prestige variety due to its use as the language of radio broadcasts. Dialects are Domno tegu, Gono
tegu, Bama tegu, and Guru tegu; their degree of mutual intelligibility has not been recorded. Domno is the standard dialect,
and considered the purest; Guru (Koro) is the dialect of that town. |
