Sometimes it is said that the dioula (also written "jula" or "dyula") is a "simplified bambara" or that the dioula is a "commercial bambara". It is even said that Dioula is related to Bambara in the same way that United States English is related to English in England. Others go so far to say that we can consider that the terms Dioula, Bambara and Malinké in fact designate the same language, the word Dioula being used in Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso while the words Bambara and Malinké are no longer in use in Mali. Certain linguists consider that these are three languages, certainly very similar on the oral level, but clearly identified, belonging to the Mandé language group.
For many speakers in southwestern Burkina Faso, Dioula is not their mother tongue, but they speak it fluently in everyday life when interacting with people from different ethnic groups.
Dioula is spoken by more than 12 million people, including more than 3 million in Burkina Faso, the rest being distributed mainly between Côte d'Ivoire and Mali.

Some people describe Dioula as a simpler language or trade language of Bambara while others say that Dioula is related to Bambara as American English is related to British English. Some consider Dioula, Bambara and Malinke as the same language, implying that Dioula describes the same language in Côte d'Ivoire and in Burkina Faso and that Bambara and Malinke are names for the same language used in Mali. But, linguists consider each one as a distinct language, clearly identified as three languages of the Mandé family. Dioula is spoken by around 12 million people, 3 million of them live in Burkina Faso, the rest in the neighboring countries.
