Gun language (Template:Lang-guw) is a language in the Gbe languages group. It is spoken by the Gun people in Benin and Nigeria.[2] This language is close to Fon, as well as to Agbome, Kpase, Maxi and Weme (Ouémé) languages. It is the second most spoken language of Benin. It is used in some schools in the Ouémé Department of Benin.[3]
It is mainly spoken in south Benin in Porto-Novo, Sèmè-Kpodji, Bonou, Adjarra, Avrankou, Dangbo, Akpro-Missérété, Cotonou, and other cities where Gun people live. Gun is also spoken by a minority of people in southwest Nigeria near the border with Benin.
