Product Description

Product Description

Over 5 million people speak Wolof in the Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania. It is the language spoken by businesspeople in these countries and has become increasingly prevalent in the area's radio and TV programming. Knowledge of Wolof is essential for anyone looking to travel or do business in the region. This unique dictionary and phrasebook is the only current reference for Wolof in English. As there is no written form of the language, words and phrases are presented in a special anglicised form that allows the user to easily speak and understand the language. A concise guide to grammar and pronunciation is also included. Primarily based on the Gambian dialect of the language, the book is an invaluable tool wherever Wolof is spoken.


About the Author

The author is native Gambian who owns and operates the African Heritage Gallery in Dallas Texas. She lives with her husband and three children in the Dallas area.

3.0 out of 5 stars Restricted to the Gambian dialect, 27 May 2006
By K. J. Leipoldt (Bonn, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The reader should be informed that this dictionary refers to the Gambian dialect of Wolof. As most books on Gambian Wolof, it does not use the standard orthography as specified by the language institute CLAD (Centre de linguistique appliquée de Dakar), which means that it will become a difficult task when trying to cross-reference with other books on Wolof.
