Koyraboro Senni (or Eastern Songhay or Koroboro Senni or Koyra Senni) is a variety of Songhai in Mali spoken by some 400000 people along Niger River from Gourma-Rharous east of Timbuktu through Bourem Gao and Ansongo to the Mali–Niger border.The expression koyra-boro senn-i literally denotes the language of the town dwellers as opposed to nomads (like the Tuareg) and other mobile people.Although Koyraboro Senni is associated with settled towns it is a cosmopolitan language which has spread east and west of Gao to the Fulani living at the Mali–Niger border and to the Bozo.
