=== Afrikaans ===
=== Bambara ===
Bambara is the main language spoken in [[Mali]]. It is also mutually intelligible with Jula ([[Côte d'Ivoire|Cote d'Ivoire]]), Malinke ([[Guinea]], [[Senegal]], Mandinka ([[The Gambia|Gambia]])) and other languages spoken all over [[Western Africa|West Africa]].
Many words don't exist in Bambara and when you don't know a word people might understand the word in French. It's also very common to mix French and Bambara, especially in Mali's capital, [[Bamako]].
