Mboteni, also known as Baga Mboteni, Baga Binari,[2] or Baga Pokur, is an endangered Rio Nunez language spoken in the coastal Rio Nunez region of Guinea. Speakers who have gone to school or work outside their villages are bilingual in Pokur and the Mande language Susu.[3]
Pokur has lost the noun-class concord found in its relatives.[4]
