Wolof: Gambia...
"Wolof, spoken in several dialects, is used as a lingua franca
throughout Gambia and Senegal, with isolated groups as far
north as Mauretania and south as far as the Portuguese Guinea
border.   It is a West Atlantic language.

The Gambia dialect of Wolof is spoken by about 200,000 people
in Gambia, the narrow West African nation that follows the
Gambia River 150 miles into Senegal."
