Interesting Facts About the Wolof Language
It is estimated that there are between 10 and 12 million speakers of Wolof. The majority of these people live in West Africa, in Senegal and The Gambia, as well as parts of Mauritania. There are also significant Wolof-speaking communities in parts of the United States, in particular in areas of New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington DC, and Detroit.
Five Interesting Facts about Wolof:
- Wolof belongs to the Niger-Congo language family, like many of West Africa’s languages. Specifically, it is part of the Senegambian branch and is closely related to regional languages such as Serer and Fula. While they share roots and other similarities, they are not mutually intelligible.
- Unlike most Niger-Congo languages, Wolof does not use a tonal system (where the pitch of a word can drastically change its meaning). It’s also dissimilar to many West African languages in its word order. Indeed, Wolof follows a subject-verb-object (SVO) system, like English and French.
- History and culture have left their mark on the Wolof language, evidenced by its many loan words. You’ll find Arabic influences often used in Islamic contexts, as well as some French terms, found in everyday life.
- Wolof has strong links with Senegalese music; Mbalax artists such as Youssou N’Dour and Baaba Maal frequently sing in Wolof, which brings the languages to audiences across the world.
- Like many African languages, Wolof started as an oral language. Its written form was developed through contact with Islam and colonialism. French influences led to the dominance of the Latin script, although for many years Wolof used the Ajami script.
