Second, the names have changed over time. The Lobi described by Rattray (1932) include the Birifor as well as the Dagara of Labouret. In the first place, names differ, depending on whether they are used by francophones or by anglophones. The problems of ethnic classification in this area are several. Indeed, because she is dealing with the region, she also includes the Wala and the Dagara-Jula in her account. Subsequently, P ère (1988) adopted the francophone use of Lobi ("la r égion Lobi") to cover the peoples of the Gaoua District of Burkina Faso, including not only the J ãa (Dian) the Ga àn (Gan) the Te és é (Teguessi é) the D òcs è (or Dorossi é, but also the K ùl ãgo ) the Dagara (divided into Dagara Lobr and Dagara Wiili ) and the Pwa (formerly known as the Pugula or Pougouli), who speak a Grusi language.
The other small groups speak languages related to Lobiri, as do the Padoro and possibly the Komono Dian and Lobiri (in the east) are more closely related, as is the western group. The Teguessi é (or T égu é) speak a language of the Kulango Group and are sometimes thought of as the autochthons they were Masters of the Earth in much of the area. In this cluster, Labouret included the "true Lobi" (or those the Birifor call the "LoWilisi") around Gaoua, who (according to Westermann and Bryan 1952) speak a Dogon-type language (the inclusion of Dogon is disputed) the Birifor (or LoBirifor) to their east, who speak Dagara, a Mole-Dagbane language and four smaller groups: the Teguessi é, the Dorossi é, the Dian, and the Gan. The terms "LoDagaa" and "Lobi-Dagarti" (or Dagara) are used for a cluster of peoples situated across the frontier of Burkina Faso and Ghana, originally grouped together by Labouret, following the usage of Delafosse and other francophones. They are divided among three contemporary nations: Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), in South-West Department Ghana (formerly Gold Coast), in the districts of Lawra, Wa, and Bole and Ivory Coast, in the districts of Bonduku and Buna. The group known to French writers, following the usage of Labourer (1931) and P ère (1988), as the "Lobi" are found distributed between 9 ☀0 ′ and 11 ☀0 ′ N and 2 ☃0 ′ and 4 ☀0 ′ W.
