Dogon languages. The Dogon languages are a small closely related language family that is spoken by the Dogon people of Mali and may belong to the proposed Niger???Congo family. There are about 600,000 speakers of its dozen languages. They are tonal languages, and most, like Dogul, have two tones, but some, like Donno So, have three. Their basic word order is subject???object???verb. External relationships The evidence linking Dogon to the Niger???Congo family is mainly a few numerals and some common core vocabulary. Various theories have been proposed, placing them with Gur, Mande, or as an independent branch, the last now being the preferred approach. The Dogon languages show very few remnants of the noun class system characteristic of much of Niger???Congo, leading linguists to conclude that they likely diverged from Niger???Congo very early. Roger Blench comments, Dogon is both lexically and structurally...
