The Dogon dialects of the western plains below the Bandiagara Escarpment in 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:
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.
Phonology [ edit ]
Consonants [ edit ]
Consonant germination also occurs frequently among sounds [kː lː nː tː] .
/z can only occur among loanwords.
/ɸ / is interchangeable with /h .
Consonant sound /t͡ʃ / only rarely occurs and in almost absent.
Consonant sounds [z ʃ ʒ] are absent, except in loanwords.
/ɡ / can be realized as a fricative [ɣ ] between vowel sounds /a ɔ/ .
Sounds [f h ] only occur from loanwords, and are interchangeable.
Glottal sound [ʔ ] can only occur as an element in some reduplicated forms of vowel-initial words, or between vowels within a word.
In Tomo Kan, an extra central vowel sound [ʉ ] is also attested possibly as a result of /i preceding a nasalised segment or a /u . It may also regularly be pronounced as [u as well.[2]
