The Tebul language, also known as Tebul Ure, is a Dogon language spoken in Mali by the Tebul U (Tebul people). It was first reported under this name online by Roger Blench,[2] who erroneously reported that it appears to be the same as a language called Oru Yille in existing literature. This mistaken name instead means 'two words' in the Tebul language.
The language is divergent within the Dogon and may constitute its own branch of that family, though it shows some affinities with the western languages.
The Tebul people also use 'village sign', Tebul Sign Language, due to a relatively high incidence of deafness.
