Bolon  

Definition

  • Bolon is a Manding language of Burkina Faso. There are two dialects, White/Southern and Black/Northern; White Bolon is partially intelligible with Jula. Manding languages are a sub-branch of Mande languages that are part of the hypothetical Niger-Congo language family. However, as the Mande languages lack the noun-class morphology, linguists increasingly treat Mande and Atlantic–Congo as independent language families and reject the Niger-Congo hypothesis.
