Dagaare is the maternal language of the Dagaaba people in Ghana and Burkina Faso. It has been described as a dialect continuum that also includes Waale and Birifor.

Ethnologue divides Dagaare into three languages:

*Southern Dagaare language (dga), which is spoken mainly in Ghana

*Northern Dagara language (dgi), which is spoken mainly in Burkina Faso

*Dagaari Dioula (dgd), which is spoken mainly in Burkina Faso, and has significant influence from the genetically unrelated Dioula language
