 Palaka area, some neighbouring languages, and the otherSenufo languages. | |
Palaka (or 'Kpalaga') is a centralSenufo language spoken by approximately 8,000 people in northernIvory Coast. It is bordered to the south byDjimini, a southern Senufo language, and to the west byNyarafolo, another Senufo language. North and east of the Palaka area liveDioula people.
Palaka constitutes a separate branch of the Senufo languages on its own, being rather different from them in morphology and phonology. It has been tentatively linked toNafaanra language, an isolated Senufo language spoken inGhana. Palaka has been separated from the other Senufo languages at least since the fourteenth century AD.
