Bambara...
"Bambara, with dialectal variations, is spoken by
one to one and a
half million members of Bambara tribes in southwestern Mali and
adjacent areas of Senegal, Ivory Coast,
and Upper Volta. Bam-
bara and Diola have come into use as trade languages in this area
and beyond, and are now used either as a second language,
adopted language, or lingua franca among an estimated 4 million
people. Bambara is a Mande language, so closely related to Diola
and Maninka that in certain dialects it
is difficult to distinguish
where one language stops and another begins."--1000 Tongues, 1972
