Baga languages
The Baga languages are languages of the Mel family spoken in the coastal region of Guinea. The total number of speakers is about 30,000, of which Landoma speakers make up almost half.Languages
The varieties apart from Landoma are sometimes considered dialects of one language, Baga or Barka. Landoma is somewhat more distantly related.
The Baga languages are in turn related to Temne, one of the four official languages of Sierra Leone; together, Baga and Temne belong to the Mel branch of Niger–Congo languages.Footnotes
