The varieties apart from Landoma are sometimes considered dialects of one language, Baga or Barka. Landoma is somewhat more distantly related.
The Baga languages are in turn related to Temne, one of the four official languages of Sierra Leone; together, Baga and Temne belong to the Mel branch of Niger–Congo languages.
