Gola language

Gola is a language of Liberia and Sierra Leone. It was traditionally classified as an Atlantic language, but this is no longer accepted in more recent studies.
Classification.
Gola is not closely related to other languages and appears to form its own branch of the Niger–Congo language family. However, "Ethnologue" lists Gola as a Mel language. Fields (2004) classifies Gola as a Mel language most closely related to Bullom and Kisi.
Distribution.
According to "Ethnologue", Gola is spoken in widespread regions across Liberia. It is spoken in Gbarpolu County, Grand Cape Mount County, and Lofa County (between the Mano River and Saint Paul River), as well as in inland areas of Bomi County and Montserrado County.
Dialects are Deng (Todii), Kongba, and Senje.
