| has gloss | eng: The Bozo languages (sometimes Boso) are spoken by the Bozo, the principal fishing people of the Inner Niger Delta in Mali. According to the 2000 census, the Bozo people number about 132,100. The Bozo dialect cluster is often considered to be one language, but there is quite a bit of diversity. Ethnologue recognizes four languages. The Bozo languages are part of the Northwestern Mande languages; their closest linguistic relative is Soninke, a major language spoken in Mali and surrounding countries. The Bozo often speak one or more regional languages like Fulfulde, Songhay, Bambara, or Soninke. The languages are tonal, with three lexical tones. |
