Sembla, Sambla,or Seenku, is a Western Mande language within the Samogo group of Burkina Faso. The northern dialect called Timiku[1] and the southern one called Gbeneku[2] are easily intelligible.

The language is also known as Samogho and "Southern Samo", which is also the name of one of the Samo languages.

This language also has a complex speech replacement system, which is implemented on the Sambla balafon, where the words of the Sambla language are translated into music, similar to the more famous talking drum communication.[3]
