Kulango is a Niger–Congo language of Ivory Coast and across the border in Ghana. There are two principal varieties, distinct enough to be considered separate languages: the Kulango of Bondoukou (Bonduku), and that of Bouna (Buna). Ethnologue report Bouna-dialect speakers understand Bondoukou, but not the reverse. Bouna in addition has (sub)dialects Sekwa and Nabanj.
Variations of the name 'Kulango' include Koulango, Kolango, Kulange, Nkurange, Nkuraeng.
