Bayot language


Bayot is a language of southern Senegal, southwest of Ziguinchor in a group of villages near Nyassia, and in northwestern Guinea-Bissau, along the Senegalese border, and in the Gambia.
The Kugere and Kuxinge dialects of Senegal and the Arame and Gubaare dialects of Guinea-Bissau are distinct enough to be sometimes considered different languages.
Bayot is the most divergent of the Jola languages, in the Senegambian branch of the Niger–Congo language family.
