Tukulor - Tukulor (English spelling)

Japanese: トゥクロール族 - トゥクロールぞく(英語表記)Tukulor
Tukulor - Tukulor (English spelling)
An ethnic group living in the semi-arid Fouta Toro region in northern Senegal, West Africa. They are heavily influenced by the pastoral Fulbe people and speak the Fulani language. The name comes from the Tekhlour Kingdom, which flourished in this area from the 10th to 18th centuries. They adopted Islam in the 11th century. Their social organization is based on patrilineal lineage, and polygamy is practiced. Their society is becoming increasingly stratified, with a differentiation into a class of free people including aristocrats, artisans, and slaves. Their main occupation is agriculture, but in recent years the number of migrant workers moving to cities has increased due to factors such as the contradictions of a stratified society, population growth, and stagnant economic activity. The current population is estimated to be around 500,000.

西アフリカのセネガル北部,半乾燥地帯フータ・トロ地域に居住する民族。牧畜民フルベ族の影響が大きく,フラニ語を話す。民族名称は,10~18世紀にこの地で栄えたテクルール王国に由来する。 11世紀にはイスラム教を受容。社会組織は父系リニージに基盤をおき,一夫多妻婚が行われる。社会の階層化が進んでおり,貴族を含めた自由民層,職人層,奴隷層に分化している。農耕を主生業とするが,階層化社会の矛盾,人口増加,経済活動の停滞などの要因により,近年は都市への出稼ぎ労働者が増えている。現在の人口は約 50万と推定される。
