Fulani...
"Fulani is spoken primarily in Adamawa and Rauchi provinces of
east-central Nigeria and in adjacent Cameroun, but forms of
Fulani are found from Mauretania to Chad.   It is known as
Fulfulde (self-designation), Fula, or Peul.   Estimates of the
number of speakers run from 3 to 5 million.   Fulani is used as a
lingua franca in certain areas, but it has not developed as a literary
language.   There are many regional dialectal forms of this
West Atlantic language.   Scriptures have been published in the
Macina and Futa-Jalon dialects.   (See Fula.)   The Adamawa usage
is termed Eastern Fulani.   All other Nigerian forms are sometimes
known as Western Fulani."
