Dama, a closely related variety that may have been a dialect of Mono, is already extinct. It was located in the arrondissement of Rey Bouba (Mayo-Rey department, North Region).[3]
Mono is spoken north of Rey Bouba, around Kongrong, and along the Mayo-Godi River (Rey Bouba commune, Mayo-Rey department, Northern Region).[3]
Spoken by 1,100 speakers, Mono is in decline as speakers are shifting to Fulfulde.[3]
