Jamsai Dogon

Jamsay Dogon is one of the Dogon languages spoken in Mali, and the only one spoken in Burkina Faso apart from a few villages of Tomo Kan.

It is a major language in Koro, at the south end of the escarpment, and stretches as far north as Douentza.

It is not mutually intelligible with other Plains Dogon languages, but is widely known as the prestige variety due to its use as the language of radio broadcasts.

Jamsai gets its name from a common response to a greeting: Jam sai, or "peace only."

"Taardé" is the way of the question asker telling the askee that he's done with his inquiry.
