Ebook: A Grammar of the Dogon of Tabi-Sarinyere (Toro Tegu) Tabi Dialect

Publisher: University of Michigan
Publication date: 2008
Number of pages: 388The Dogon languages are spoken chiefly in eastern Mali. The predominantly Dogon area in Mali is bounded by Boni in the north, by Mopti-Sévaré in the east, and by the Bankass area to the south. It reaches to the Burkina Faso border (e.g. around Koro) in the east, and there are some extensions (probably of recent date) into Burkina. We are in an early stage of surveying the Dogon languages, but current indications are that there may be approximately twenty distinct languages,
several of which have extensive dialectal variation internally. I have been primarily focusing on the languages in the north and northeast (001). Some of the names used here are terms of art based on place names (Tabi, Sarinyere, Beni, Walo).
