Editing Senufo languages (section)

==Subclassification==
Early Senufo classifications were mainly geographically motivated, dividing the Senufo languages into Northern, Central, and Southern Senufo.{{sfnp|Bendor-Samuel|1971}} In subsequent years, this terminology was adopted by several linguists working on Senufo languages.{{sfnp|Garber|1987}}{{sfnp|Carlson|1983}}{{sfnp|Carlson|1994}} Mensah (1983) and Mills (1984) avoided this geographical terms but used mainly the same grouping.{{sfnp|Garber|1987}} [[SIL International]] in its Ethnologue subdivides the Senufo languages in six groups. Combining the two classifications results in the grouping below.
