[Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé]

Misc languages: Wolof

                           Wolof is a member of the West Atlantic sub-branch of the                Niger-Congo language family. Common to West Atlantic languages are                derivitive verbal suffixes, used in Wolof to mark tense, mode, aspect,                and negative/affirmative distinctions.
              In Wolof, verbs are unchangeable words which cannot be conjugated. To express different tenses or aspects of an action, the personal pronouns are conjugated - not the verbs. Therefore, the term Temporal Pronoun has become established for this part of speech.

     Notes
  
   Despite the considerable geographic spread of Wolof speakers, the                language is relatively unmarked by dialectal differences. Variations                in Wolof are evident, however, in comparing the Wolof of urban inhabitants                to that of rural-dwellers.
   The Wolof spoken in Dakar, Senegal's capital, is particularly noted                for its high level of French loans or derivitive words and is readily                distinguishable from the Wolof spoken in other parts of Senegal.                The influence of English on the Wolof of The Gambia, a former English                colony, has also been studied, though the differences do not seem                to be such that intercomprehension is hindered greatly.
