Palaka forms an independent separate branch of the Senufo languages ​​, since it differs in the morphology and phonology of other languages ​​. It has been tentatively associated with the Nafaanra language in conjunction, an isolated Senufo language spoken in Ghana. Palaka has separated since the 14th century AD by the other Senufo languages.
