According to the grammatical structure, the language is agglutinative . Several dialects stand out, but the differences between them are not strictly defined.

  • Maninka-Mori, originally a dialect of the Kankan region - 1890000 native speakers in Guinea and 200,000 in Liberia and Sierra Leone , is the basis for the rapidly developing literary language Maninka
  • Konya (cognac) - 128,000 carriers in Guinea
  • mania (maniac) - in Forest Guinea and in the north of Liberia
  • Sankaran (Maninka Farana) - in Guinea, near the city of Farana
  • Manica of the Manden region - northeast of Guinea and the adjacent region of Mali, west and southwest of Bamako
  • Maninka Kita - a district of the city of Kita in Mali
  • northwest Maninka - eastern Senegal and surrounding areas of Mali

In recent decades, the pseudo-scientific hypothesis about the close kinship of the languages ​​Manden (including Maninka) and Maya has gained popularity.
