The Dogon dialects of the western plains below the Bandiagara Escarpment is Mali are mutually intelligible. They are sometimes called the Kan Dogon because they use the word kan (also spelled kã) for varieties of speech. The dialects are:Tomo kãTeŋu kãTogo kãThe latter two are traditionally subsumed under the name Tene kã (Tene Kan Tene Tingi) but Hochstetler separated them because the three varieties are about equidistant.
