The language Natioro (also called koo'ra, natjoro and natyoro ; ISO 639-3: nti) is a Gur language from the Niger-Congo language family , which is spoken by a total of 2,400 people in the Léraba province of Burkina Faso .
The center of the speakers is the city of Sindou , as well as the settlements of Dinaoro, Timba and Kawara.
With the language Wara [wbf] in Burkina Faso, the natioro forms the subgroup Wara-natioro. It has two dialects: kaouara-timba-sindou-koroni and ginaourou. The ethnic group of the same name who speak this language is neighbors with the Jula and therefore also uses the Dioula . Therefore, many speakers are bilingual. However, the speakers mostly approach the French language - the official language of Burkina Faso - so that in the foreseeable future the speakers will only be able to speak French in one language.
