About: Doba language

An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Doba is a Central Sudanic language of Chad. It is traditionally considered three languages, because it is spoken by three ethnicities with separate identities, the Bedjond, the Mango, and the Gor. However, all have a high degree of mutual intelligibility, and so by that standard are a single language. Doba is the name of the town which is the center of the Mango people, and is used by linguists as a cover term for the three dialects. The number of speakers is uncertain, as the latest figure for the Bedjond, 36,000, dates from 1969. Figures for the Gor (87,000) and Mango (52,000) date from 2006.
