The Fulani language is a language of West Africa, spoken by the Fube (Fula
or Fulani people) from Senegambia and Guinea to Cameroon and Sudan. It
is also spoken as the first language by the Tukulor in the Senegal River
Valley and as a second language by peoples in other areas.
There are several names
applied to the language, just as there are to the Fula people. They call
their language Pulaar or Pular in the western dialects and Fulfulde (pronounced
full-full-day) in the central and eastern dialects. Fula(h) and Fulani
in English come originally from Manding and Hausa, respectively; Peul
in French from Wolof.
