Kolum So
Mombo Dogon is a Dogon language spoken in Mali. Helabo and Miambo are dialects. Until c. 2005 Ampari was considered a dialect. However, while Ampari understand Mombo, this appears to be because they visit the area yearly, and the Mombo cannot understand Ampari. In the village of Kema, the Mombo language is called ''Ambaleeŋge''. It has been called ''Ejenge Dõ (Edyenge Dom, Idyoli Donge)'' or ''Kolum So'' in the literature. ''Ejenge Dõ'' is the Mombo word for 'Dogon language', from ''Éjé'' 'Dogon person'. ''Kolum So'' is the name used by the Donno So Escarpment Dogon is a continuum of Dogon dialects of the Bandiagara Escarpment, including the standard language.

Dogon Languages
The Dogon languages are a small closely-related language family that is spoken by the Dogon people of Mali and may belong to the proposed Niger–Congo family. There are about 600,000 speakers of its dozen languages. They are tonal languages, and most, like Dogul, have two tones, but some, like Donno So, have three. Their basic word order is subject–object–verb. External relationships The evidence linking Dogon to the Niger–Congo family is weak, and their place within the family, assuming they do belong, is not clear. Various theories have been proposed, placing them in Gur, Mande, or as an independent branch, the last now being the preferred approach. The Dogon languages show no remnants of the noun class system characteristic of much of Niger–Congo, leading linguists to conclude that they likely diverged from Niger–Congo very early.

Donno So Dialect
Escarpment Dogon is a continuum of Dogon dialects of the Bandiagara Escarpment, including the standard language. There are three principal dialects: *Toro So ''Tɔrɔ sɔɔ'', called ''Bomu Tegu'' in the plains languages and also known as ''Dɔgɔsɔ'', is the standard variety of Dogon, which is one of thirteen official languages of Mali. *Tommo So '' Tɔmmɔ sɔ'', called ''Tombo so'' by Bondum Dom speakers, is spoken in a region from Kasa to Bandiagara. It is more linguistically conservative than Toro So. The third dialect commonly listed is two subdialects without a common name: *Donno So ''Donno sɔ'' in the Bandiagara area, and *Kamma So ''Kamma sɔ'' also known as ''Kamba So'', in the Kamba area. Hochstetler confirms that these are intelligible with each other, but not with the more populous varieties of Dogon on the neighboring plains. While Toro So was chosen as the official standard, because it has the most in common with the largest number of Dogon languages du ...
