Kulango is a Niger–Congo language of Ivory Coast and across the border in Ghana. It is one of the Kulango languages. There are two principal varieties, distinct enough to be considered separate languages: the Kulango of Bondoukou (Bonduku) also known as Goutougo locally, and that of Bouna (Buna). Ethnologue reports that Bouna-dialect speakers understand Bondoukou, but not the reverse. Bouna, in addition, has subdialects Sekwa and Nabanj. In Ghana, the principal towns in which the language is spoken are Badu and Seikwa, both in the Tain District, and Buni in the Jaman North district, all in the Bono region of Ghana. In addition, there are smaller towns and Villages closer to Wenchi in the Bono region and Techiman in the Bono east region where this language is spoken. Among these are Asubingya (Asubinja) and Nkonsia. The Koulango are matrilineal like the Akans and possess similar cultural practices.
