This video was recorded by Peace Corps volunteer Pete in Labe, Guinea. Pular is the most widely spoken Indigenous language of Guinea, constituting nearly a third of the nation's population. It is spoken primarily by the Fula people of Fouta Djallon, Guinea, but also by migrants in Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, and Mali. According to Glottolog, Pular has three varieties, including Fula Peta, Kebu Fula, and Krio Fula. Pular is spoken by nearly 3 million people worldwide. It is a West Central Fula-Wolof language belonging to the Atlantic-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
French is spoken by about 60,000,000 people in France and almost 75,000,000 internationally. French is a Gallo-Iberian language of the Romance languages under the Indo-European language family. French is the official language of 29 countries and spans five different continents -- it is the 18th most natively spoken language in the world and the second most studied language worldwide, with about 120 million learners. French in West Africa is characterized by the prevalent use of the historic alveolar trill of pre-20th century continental French, which also persists in North American French varieties.
