 Atlantic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fula and the Wolof language of Senegal are the largest Atlantic languages with several million speakers each; other significant members include Serer and the Jola dialect cluster of Senegal and Temne in Sierra Leone.
In the early 20th century, Carl Meinhof claimed that Fula was a Hamitic language, but August von Klingenhaben and Joseph Greenberg's work conclusively established Fula's close relationship with Wolof and Serer.
These languages are generally spoken along the Atlantic coast from Senegal to Liberia, though nomadic Fula speakers have spread eastward and are found in significant concentrations across the Sahel, from Senegal to Nigeria and Cameroon.

 Royaume de Biffeche Kingdom of Biffeche Events
The project of a written script for our Sérér-Ndut (Ndut) language is advancing rapidly; American Dan Morgan and his German wife Marieta have completed their initial studies of the Sérér-Ndut spoken in Mont-Roland, Sénégal, and Biffeche, and they have prepared dictionaries and are now writing teacher training and student manuals (French-to-Sérér-Ndut).
Since it is an official language of the Kingdom, and past transliterations into pseudo-franco-sérér have been inconsistent, this is a very important development for Biffeche and an answer to our prayers.
The bridge had been unsafe for many years and now it is once again sound and secure.
