The ISO code is [mzw]. Alternate names for the language include: Aculo, Buru, Ching, Degha, Janela, Mmfo or Mo, and Panyam. It is related linguistically to Vagla. They also related to the Sisaala, Tampulma, Chakali, and Kasem up north. A legend involves they and the Vagla moving south from the other groups. Now the Deg live in two districts: the Kintampo and the Bole.
Twi serves as a trade language for instruction in the schools and worship in the churches.
