It includes languages such as Mooré, Gurunsi, and Dagara, which are mainly found in countries like Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Ivory Coast. These languages are known for their rich tonal systems and diverse dialects. Gur languages are characterized by their use of noun classes, which categorize nouns into different groups based on various attributes. This family plays a significant role in the cultural identity of the communities that speak them, contributing to local traditions, storytelling, and social interactions.
