الكوناباري

Konabéré (also Bobo Konabéré, Sambla) is a Western Mande language spoken by the Konabéré people around Bobo-Dioulasso in southwestern Burkina Faso. Note: this Konabéré is distinct from "Bobo Madaré" (bwq), the larger Bobo-Madaré language of the same general region; the two Bobo-named languages are NOT closely related despite both being termed "Bobo" by the dominant Manding (bm Bambara) speakers. Konabéré is in the Bobo-Konabéré branch of Western Mande, while Bobo Madaré is in a separate Mande branch. Konabéré has approximately 32,000-50,000 speakers and is recognized as a national language of Burkina Faso under the 1991 Constitution.
