	Nemadi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to a few sources, the small Nemadi hunting tribe of eastern Mauritania speak a separate language of their own; however, most sources agree that they speak a dialect of Hassaniyya, or in some cases perhaps Azer.
		Delafosse classifies provisionally with SoninkÃ©." However, Brosset (1932) says that they speak Hassaniyya, and that "their special vocabulary does not consist of vocables different from Hassaniyya, but of technical terms which need has forced them to create, which are forged from Arabic, Zenata, and maybe Azer."
		They express themselves in brief idiomatic phrases, and the language has neither singular nor plural." The Ethnologue 's former description of their language appears to be based solely on this source; however, its latest edition says that "The 'Nemadi' are an ethnic group that speak Hassaniyya, and do not have their own language."

		The Soninke of Ancient Ghana, circa 200 CE A thousand miles west of the Bantu community, just inland from the western coast and just south of the Saharan desert, an iron using state arose called Ghana -- unrelated to modern Ghana.
