{{IPA notice}}The '''Gur languages''', also known as '''Central Gur''' or '''Mabia''', belong to the [[Niger–Congo languages]].

A few Gur languages are spoken in [[Nigeria]]. Additionally, a single Gur language, [[Baatonum]], is spoken in Benin and in the extreme northwest of Nigeria. Three other single Gur languages, the [[Tusya language|Tusya]], [[Vyemo language|Vyemo]] and [[Tiefo language|Tiefo languages]], are spoken in Burkina Faso. Another unclassified Gur language, [[Miyobe]], is spoken in Benin and Togo. In addition, [[Kulango]], [[Lomakka language|Loma]] and [[Lorhon language|Lorhon]], are spoken in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. Additionally, a few [[Mossi language|Mossi]] speakers are in [[Senegal]], and speakers of the [[Dagaare language]] are also found in [[Cameroon]].
