By rich dialect, I mean the one that contains the highest number of different words – whether they can express something different or not. The one Malian dialect that allows to have the most complex and intellectual debates. In other words, if I should learn one spoken language in Mali, what should it be ?

(Not the french part obviously)

I would guess it's Songhay but I don't know for sure.

Hello, non-Malian here.
Your nation has made headlines by paying off its national debt. Every country tends to downplay their achievements but in my eyes, this is major.
Do you think you current ruler can revolutionize Mali and whose actions can contribute to African states demanding more and Pan-Africanism
Also please tell me about his shortcomings or if I am unaware of something unfortunate

What is you guys opinion on the conflict happening in the azawad zone of Mali? Me personally as a Malian I don’t want the country to separate and I don’t think that neither the Touareg rebels or the Malien army is innocent in this situation. I dont think the majority of Touareg are séparatistes either and I do think the Malien gouvernement neglected the north for too long but I feel like the Touareg are are brothers and sisters just like any other ethnic in Mali!!!

I am making a series where I cook every national dish and my first step is to come to the sub and ask the question.

now I understand that not every country has a defined national dish and that some countries have many different regions with different cuisines. in that case I will make the one that you guys agree on best represents Mali. please let me know what you think

Hi everyone. I am traveling to Bamako tomorrow and staying for 5 days. My family is making me scared about going and I want to know what are your thoughts?

I’m going to Siby with a tour group for 2 days and then was thinking of doing a day in Segou by myself. I am African but was born and raised in US.

Anything I should skip? Should I just stay in Bamako?

Just interested in what Mali people are taught or know about him.

So obviously I wanna go to Bamako but which other places should i go to , which towns , cities , villages or natural beuites should I visit or see . For culture , history , natural beauty or food or just places so I can tick it off my bucket list .

What would be my best way to get to Mali(subject too change ) my closest airport is Newcastle second is either teesside airport, Leeds Bradford or Edinburgh

Are people from Mali ok with brits (just asking on all the subs I'm posting on since we aren't liked in some places )

How's everyone doing? I wanted to ask if anyone knows about a ancient group of people called Tellem and what is their origin? I heard they are wrongly labeled as pygmies

I heard it, but I'm doubtful.

were the Bambara affected by the TAST? if so, where did they settle?

Bonjour à tous, dans le cadre de mes études de Master, mon université m'a demandé d'étudier une langue "native to Africa". Après quelques recherches, j'ai opté pour le bambara, étant donné que mes études portent principalement sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest, et que la langue me semble très agréable, ce qui me semble logique.

Malheureusement, je n'ai pas réussi à trouver quelque chose de sérieux en ligne. Je suis peut-être un peu trop sceptique, jcp. Si quelqu'un connaît qqn qui enseigne le bambara ou qui serait prêt à m'enseigner le bambara en ligne, merci de me le faire savoir. Ou mieux encore, mais c'est peu probable, si quelqu'un connaît quelqu'un qui enseigne le bambara à Pékin, CHine.

Je recherche idéalement un locuteur natif qui pourra m'enseigner en français, en allemand, en anglais, en albanais ou en italien. Comme je ne suis pas sûr de la langue que vous préférez parler dans ce subreddit, je joindrai le même message ci-dessous en anglais:

Hello everyone, as part of my Master studies I was asked by my university to study a native African language. After some research I landed on Bambara, as the main focus of my studies is West-Africa anyways, and the language sounds lovely, it seems to make sense to me.

Unfortunately, however, I have not been able to find anything serious looking online. Maybe I am a bit too sceptical. If anyone knows anyone who teaches Bambara or would be willing to teach me Bambara online, please let me know. Or even better, but unlikely, if someone knows of someone teaching Bambara in Beijing.

I am ideally looking for a native speaker that will be able to teach me in either, French, German, English or Italian

Goodevening, i am noah kaplan a freelance journalist. I am looking for a guide or person who knows his way around northern mali (timbouctou, gao, kidal) of course for compensation URGENT!

I am not Malian but I like Bambara and think N’ko writing is beautiful so I made translated subtitles in Bambara + N’ko

What do you think? What should I improve?

Merci à tous!

I’m not from mail but I recently discovered Mali music from TikTok the song Sigi Kuruni. I had it on repeat the whole weak. It sounds so good! I’m not sure what the translation of it is but I really like the sound of the language and instrument. What language is this ?

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Mali. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Mali play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!
