There are five rather divergent dialects, on the verge of being distinct languages. Katcha (Tolubi, Dholubi), Kadugli proper (Dakalla, Talla, Dhalla, Toma Ma Dalla, Kudugli, Morta), and Miri are the most divergent, though apparently they use the same orthography and literacy materials (Ethnologue).
