Most spoken language in each country

I had to separate the legend from the map because it would not have been legible otherwise. I am aware that the color distinctions are not always very clear, but there are only so many colors in the palette.

The legend is arranged in alphabetical order and languages are grouped by family (bullet points), with branches represented by numbers and followed by the color palette languages within them are colored in, as follows:

Afroasiatic

Chadic (Hausa) — ocher

Cushitic (Oromo and Somali) — light yellow-green

Semitic (from Arabic to Tigrinya) — yellow

Albanian — olive green

Armenian — mauve

Atlantic-Congo

Benue-Congo (from Chewa to Zulu) — blue-green

Senegambian (Fula and Wolof) — faded blue-green

Volta-Congo (Ewe and Mooré) — bright blue-green

Austroasiatic (Khmer and Vietnamese) — dark blue-purple

Austronesian

Eastern Malayo-Polynesian (from Fijian to Wallisian) — dark brown

Malayo-Polynesian (Palauan) — bright brown

Western Malayo-Polynesian (from Malagasy to Tagalog) — light brown

Eastern Sudanic (Dinka) — foral white

Hellenic (Greek) — black

Indo-European

Germanic (from Danish to Swedish) — light blue (creoles in medium/dark blue)

English-based creoles (from Antiguan and Barbudan to Vincentian Creole)

Indo-Aryan (from Bengali to Sinhala) — purple

Iranian (Persian) — gray

Romance (from Catalan to Spanish) — red (creoles in dark red)

French-based creoles (from Haitian Creole to Seychellois Creole)

Portuguese-based creoles (from Cape Verdean Creole to Papiamento)

Slavic — light green (from Bulgarian to Ukrainian)

Inuit (Greenlandic) — white

Japonic (Japanese) — blanched almond

Kartvelian (Georgian) — faded blue

Wolof largest ethnic in Senegal 🇸🇳.

Wolof are very tall and mostly dark skin people of sahel (west Africa) found majority in Senegal, Gambia and southwestern Mauritiania, somewhere found small minorities in mali, guinea and guinea bissau. Wolof are ethnically senegambian family an ethnic family that include serer, fulani, jola or Diola, tuculur and lebu which culturally, and linguistically appear to be mutually intelligible as senegambian family that their origin date back to ancient bafour of Mauritania and far southermost sanhaja berber tribe called zenegha from where the word senegal come from. The ancient bafour paleolitic expansion appear to be mande ethnic family that their Neolithic expansion emerge as the pure ancestry to senegambian family.

The mande ethnic family ( serehule, mandinka, soninke, malinke, sosso, mandingo etc) and senegambian family (fulani, wolof, jalo, serer etc) share same origin and ancestry from basal west Africans ( the pure west African lineage) Bafour of Mauritiania

Konderong

“Long Fur Monster” © Satoshi Matsuura, accessed at his ArtStation here

[The konderong is a fey creature known to the Wolof and the Fula in West Africa, particularly in the Gambia. A journal article from the 1950s talks about them as the guardians of animals that must be appeased by hunters, whereas Folktales from the Gambia showcases them as being incredibly strong tricksters who either serve as the villain or the ironic comeuppance for a worse character, like Hyena. So this version blends those two interpretations. I could find no dedicated art of the konderong online; I ended up choosing this picture because it obscured the feet, which are (as is classical for tricky forest spirits) backwards.]

Konderong CR 10 CE Fey This odd little man is covered completely in hair, growing over him from his scalp and beard like a blanket. He has disproportionately large hands, and his feet face backwards.

A konderong is a dwarfish malevolent fey, seen as the antithesis of civilization. Konderongs are selfish, greedy and lie, cheat and steal with impunity. They are remarkably gluttonous, and can eat hundreds of pounds of food before feeling sated. They live in natural structures such as baobab trees and ant hills, and the stinging and biting of swarming insects does not faze them. When they hunt, they often kill multiple animals at once and stockpile the corpses. Despite this profligacy, they also feel protective of wild creatures, especially insects of all kinds.

Although the tallest konderongs loom at a mere two feet tall, they are incredibly strong, able to wrestle giants and win or carry an elephant on their backs. A konderong’s beard wraps around them like a set of armor, absorbing blows. They usually prefer to deal nonlethal damage and humiliate an opponent rather than just kill them. If they are injured with cold iron, or if they intend to eat their enemy, they switch to lethal damage. This is assuming the konderong is fighting in its natural form; they are skilled shapeshifters and may attack in the form of an animal or monstrous vermin.

A konderong expects great politeness towards itself despite, or perhaps because, of its overwhelming rudeness, and will resort to violence if their expectations are not met. Every konderong considers at least one species of animals in their territory to “belong” to them, and will attack or rob hunters who kill one of these without specially propitiating the fey. Especially bold hunters may attempt to rob the konderong in turn. Every konderong carries a magical calabash that makes all work easier. The magic of this item lingers long enough to benefit a mortal who steals it, or who claims it from the konderong’s corpse. Konderongs are especially protective of these calabashes; if a konderong still lives while its calabash is stolen, it will stop at nothing to get it back.

Hair Shirt (Ex) By weaving its hair around itself, a konderong gains a +4 armor bonus to AC with no maximum Dexterity score or armor check penalty. Magic Calabash (Su) The calabash carried by a konderong is magical. Any creature carrying it (as a slotless item) gains a +2 luck bonus on all skill checks. A magic calabash retains its magic properties for 1 week, during which time the konderong cannot make another magic calabash. Stunning Pin (Ex) A creature that starts its turn pinned by a konderong must succeed a DC 22 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution based. Supernatural Strength (Su) A konderong gains a +10 enhancement bonus to its Strength score. While this is active, it is treated as being a Huge creature for the purposes of combat maneuvers and for calculating carrying capacity. Swarm Walking (Ex) A konderong takes no damage from swarms and is immune to their extraordinary special attacks, such as disease, distraction or poison.

Senegal: What you should absolutely know about my latest trip!

Senegal: What you should absolutely know about my latest trip!

It has been a long while since I wrote a blog, but I am back and I am currently in Senegal! Earlier this year, I talked about the trip I took to Fuerteventura and shortly after, I actually visited Madeira too. In this blog I want to share a whole lot about my latest trip to Senegal, but mostly: what I have done so far. The last time I went to Senegal was in 2019, so it was about time I come back.…

Distinctions in treatment between honorable and dishonorable members of the Wolof community. The construction of their dishonor vis a vis Islam seems to be a more recent phenomenon. So what was their status in society before Islam?
