The Baga language is a member of the Atlantic branch of the Niger-Congo language family. It is primarily spoken by the Baga people, who reside along the coast of Guinea in West Africa. The language has several dialects, including Baga Koga and Baga Mandori, which reflect the diverse cultural practices of the communities that speak them.
Baga is an important part of the cultural identity of the Baga people, serving as a medium for traditional stories, songs, and rituals. While the language is primarily oral, efforts are being made to document and preserve it, especially as younger generations increasingly adopt more widely spoken languages like French and English.
