Other comments:  Kelengaxo Bozo or Hainyaxo Bozo or Kelenga Bozo is spoken by approximately 30,000 speakers in Ségou region: Macina and Ségou circles, Ke-Maacina area upstream to Tamani, both sides of Niger river, Mali. Bozo Kelenga or Hainyaxo, recorded near Mopti but the old man comes from a village called nakiri near Ségou. This is the area where Kelenga usually is spoken. They are fishermen and live a semi-nomadic life style: during fishing season they pack up and move along the river to a different place often hundreds of kilometres away from their village. Usually they move with the whole family for about 4 to 6 months. When they like a place they go back to it the next year and may finally settle there. Often this place is within a different language area. Therefore when you travel in a boat along the river and ask about the villages and hamlets you pass it might be that the Bozo varieties spoken alternate: Tigemaxo in the first village, Jenaama in the next, Tige again, Tiema Cewe in the following and so on.
