Mombo Language
Mombo Dogon is a Dogon language spoken in Mali. Helabo and Miambo are dialects. Until c. 2005 Ampari Dogon, 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 dialect, Donno So to the east. It means 'sunset dialects', and refers to the westernmost Dogon varieties, Mombo and Ampari. The Fulani name is ''Piniari (Pignari)''.
