Fulani is a language widely spoken across about 20 countries in West and Central Africa (including Senegal, Guinea, Gambia, Cameroon, and Sudan) by people who call themselves Fulɓe, also known as Fulani or Fula in English. The language―which also known as Fula, Fulfulde, Fulah and Pulaar―has approximately 24 million native speakers and belongs to the Senegambian branch within the Niger-Congo languages, which does not have tones. It also belongs to the Atlantic geographic grouping within Niger–Congo family.
