Omggg Im so happy that I found your channel because it’s sooo hard to find some videos to learn mandinka my in-laws are Gambian so I really need to learn it to speak with them
I remember during my high school days, when I speak mandinka, my mates from "UP" (badibou, kiang etc) always argued strongly that US KOMBONKAS don't speak proper mandinka. Lol...BTW, great content.
no not all Gambians can speak English or Mandinka, there are multiple languages there, however i dare to say that a clear Majority of all Gambians can speak Mandinka but not all can do it. You might however run into other Gambians that will try to make it seem as every Gambian can speak this or that language which is a clearcut lie. As a matter of fact i don't think their even exist any African country where the entirety of the population all can speak the same language. it's kind of like how Senegal is between 70-80% of all Senegalese can speak Wolof so its very useful to know that, whilst 44% speaks it as a first language but and theo other 30-40% can speak it as a secondary language, or 80% of mali can speak Bambara whilst around 44% there as well speaks it as a first language, so its very useful to know there as well. it's kind of the same in the Gambia, over 40% i think 44% have mandinka as a first language whilst many others know it as a second language. However i would dare to say this that a all Gambians can either speak mandinka, wolof or English that is something i dare to say. Yes i know it's funny that it so happened to be 44% in all three countries that happened to be next to each other, which is why if you doubt me just google it and look it up for yourself. however if you learn the Dyula dialect of mandinka then you will be able to communicate with people from at least 14 different west african countries + 1 north african country to some degrees, of course not everybody in those countries but you will find people in the following countries ranging from everything from populations between 52 000 people up to 12 million people depending upon what country it is you got to that you can communicate with using the language. in some countries. those are Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso,Sierra leone, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Liberia, Senegal, the Gambia, Ivory Coast and Ghana,Mauritania and some smaller communities in Nigeria and Tchad and i heard about a community of 25 000 in Algeria as well. so that is 15 countries in general. however they are not known by the same name though, if you want to find them in Nigeria and Ghana they are called Wangara, in Ivory coast and Burkina Faso they are clalled Dyula, in liberia and Sierra Leone Mandingo, in Guinea Conakry Malinke, in Mali and Niger Bambara, malinke and maninka, in Senegal, the Gambia and guinea Bissau mandinka, i don't know what they are called in Tchad and i forgot to mention Benin and togo i know that in Togo they are found a smaller group that are know within the koutikolo community or somehing like that but i'm not sure if they still can speak the language though thats why i didn't mention them in the countries where you can actually find the people that you can speak with.
Thanks you sister binta
