There are generally three different types of Fulani based on settlement patterns, viz: the nomadic-pastoral or ''Mbororo'', the semi-nomadic, and the settled or "town" Fulani. The pastoral Fulani move around with their cattle throughout the year. Typically, they do not stay around for long stretches (not more than 2–4 months at a time). The semi-nomadic Fulani can either be Fulɓe families who happen to settle down temporarily at particular times of the year or Fulɓe families who do not "browse" around past their immediate surroundings, and even though they possess livestock, they do not wander away from a fixed or settled homestead not too far away, they are basically "in-betweeners".<ref name="Chad Ethnic Groups">{{Cite web|title=Chad Ethnic Groups|url=https://study.com/academy/lesson/chad-ethnic-groups.html|website=Study.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-25}}</ref>
Settled Fulani live in villages, towns, and cities permanently and have given up nomadic life completely, in favor of an urban one. These processes of settlement, concentration, and military conquest led to the existence of organized and long-established communities of Fulani, varying in size from small villages to towns. Today, some major Fulani towns include: [[Labé]], [[Pita, Guinea|Pita]], [[Mamou]], and [[Dalaba]] in Guinea; [[Kaedi]], [[Matam, Senegal|Matam]] and [[Podor]], Kolda in Senegal and Mauritania; [[Bandiagara]], [[Mopti]], [[Dori, Burkina Faso|Dori]], [[Gorom-Gorom]], and [[Djibo]] in Mali and Burkina Faso, on the bend of the Niger; and [[Birnin Kebbi]], [[Katsina]], [[Gombe, Nigeria|Gombe]], [[Yola, Nigeria|Yola]], [[Digil]], [[Jalingo]], Bauchi, Misau, Jama'are, [[Mayo Belwa]], [[Mubi (town)|Mubi]], [[Maroua]], [[Ngaoundere]], Azare ,[[Dukku]], Kumo, Nafada , Bajoga, [[Girei]], Damaturu, Bertoua, Batouri, Tibati, Banyo, Maiganga, Baruwa, Gembu, Nguroje, Maiha, Ngoundal,and Garoua in a countries of Nigeria and Cameroon.
