Konsoid languages, and counts several Gawwada varieties as distinct languages.[1]
- Dihina, Dobase(Lohu, Mashole), Gergere, Gollango (Gaba?), Gorrose, Harso
The name Dullay is derived from the name Dullay-speaking groups use for the Weito River. Other terms that have been used for this language family in scientific literature are Werizoid (from the former administrative name of the area inhabited by Dullay speakers) and Qawko (from the word "man" in Dullay languages).
