Wolof
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Look up Wolof in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Wolof may refer to:
- the ethnic group of the Wolof people;
- the Wolof language;
- things originating from the culture or tradition of the Wolof people.
In older French publications the spelling "Ouolof" is often used instead of "Wolof". In some English publications, predominantly those referring to Gambian Wolof, the spelling "Wollof" is used, because this spelling will induce native English speakers to pronounce the term correctly as a Wolof speaker. In publications of the 19th century and before the spelling "Volof" and "Olof" can also be found. Rarely used are also the spellings "Jolof", "Jollof" and "Dyolof".
