...Mande languages ​​have a large number of speakers, comparable to the Hausa language of West Africa and the Swahili language of East Africa. The Mande peoples in Mali include agriculturalists such as the Bambara (1.66 million), Soninke (Sarakole) (420,000), Malinke (300,000), and Khassonke, as well as Dyula traders who are engaged in trade.
