**List: Maninka Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Maninka... "Maninka, Malinke, or Meninka, is one of a group of widely- spoken dialects (see Mandinka, Bambara, and Kuranko) common to almost 500,000 people in Guinea, Portuguese Guinea, Gambia, and Senegal.   The usage of the Maninka Scriptures is the southern dialect, spoken in the inland half of Guinea, with Kankan as its approximate center.   An eastern dialect is also distinguished, which shades into the southern dialect in the Siguiri area.   The eastern dialect, mutually intelligible with the southern dialect, is spoken as far north as Bamako, where it shades into Bambara.   There are sufficient grammatical, vocabu- lary, and pronunciation differences in the two dialects to make mutual comprehension difficult."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only]    "First publication, St. Mark’s Gospel in 1924 at Kankan, French Guinea, by the Christian and My.
