The Dogon dialects of the western plains below the Bandiagara Escarpment is Mali are mutually intelligible. They are sometimes
called the Kan Dogon because they use the word kan (also spelled kã) for varieties of speech. The dialects are: Tomo kã Teŋu
kã Togo kã The latter two are traditionally subsumed under the name Tene kã (Tene Kan, Tene Tingi), but Hochstetler separated
them because the three varieties are about equidistant. There are a quarter million speakers of these dialects, about evenly
split between Tomo Kan and Tene Kan, making this the most populous of the Dogon languages. There are a few Tomo-speaking villages
just across the border in Burkina Faso. |
