Extract

• Gives Wolof's classification as: Niger–Congo → Atlantic–Congo → West Atlantic → Senegambian → Fula–Wolof → Wolof — confirming Wolof sits in the Senegambian branch of Atlantic-Congo, a wholly different branch of Niger-Congo from the Bantu languages this project's existing ubuntu case study covers, making teranga this project's first non-Bantu Niger-Congo case.
• Does not mention teranga anywhere in the article; its "Sample phrases" section covers different vocabulary (e.g. Dalal-jàmm! "Welcome!", Jërëjëf "Thank you") without touching the hospitality-ethic word this page documents.

Used in

• Teranga
