I used to be pretty decent at Wolof. I still remember quite a lot, but I mix it up with Bamana when I try to speak it now. IIRC, there are some good web resources available.

Bubudi, is that Gambian Wolof? Some of those terms are unfamiliar to me.

all senegalese, paddy. the second list is all derived from french and arabic. is the gambian variety much different?
