The Bèbè land is ruled by two fondoms: The fondom of Bebe Jatto which rules Sabongida, Bebe Jato and Mayonfon villages, and the fondom of Bebe Kette which rules Mayokila, Bebe Kette and Bebe Jama. The language has two dialects known as bebe-kette and bebe-jato. The Naami speaking area is bordered on the West by the Kemedzung language and in the South by the Sari language. The eastern part of the Bebe area is a vast land up to the border with Nigeria, inhabited almost entirely by Fulani cattle herders.
