The Bwa languages (Bwamu Bomu) are a branch of the Gur languages spoken by over half a million Bwa people of Burkina Faso and Mali. The Bwa people and their languages are one of several called Bobo in Bambara. The Bwa are distinguished as the Bobo Wule/Oule Red Bobo. The Bwa languages are not mutually intelligible; Ethnologue calculates that the intelligibility of the Ouarkoye and Cwi is 30% though other varieties are closer.
