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 separates 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. ==References== * . * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Plains Dogon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
