Language Information
Dyula, also known as Dioula and Jula, is a tonal language spoken in West Africa: primarily in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, and Mali. The Dyula language is considered mutually intelligible with Bambara, and is an important language of trade in the region.
Dyula is not currently taught on the IU campus, but we do have access to some archived material about the music in Cote d'Ivoire and more (see below).
