Who they are
The Turka, who call themselves Tchouraba, live in southwestern Burkina Faso, in towns such as Bérégadougou, Moussodougou and Douna, and many also live in Banfora. They speak Tchourama, a language of the Gur family, also called Turka; most also speak Dioula, a trade language. There is an eastern dialect and a western one. Most follow traditional religions, and a minority identify as Christians.
