This language is spoken in Cameroon, in the Centrafrican Republic, in Chad, Sudan, Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Bissau Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo and Benin.
Note: Pl. = “sigirBe”. D and B = glotalized d and b. Word used in Massina, Mali. Loan from Arabic [skr], hence different pronunciations: “cingirDo”, “cingruDo” (–ng can also be pronounced as a velar–n). In regions influenced by the Pulaar variant from Senegal, since the conquest by Al Hadj Omar and Foutanké, we also find “manndilaaDo” (pl. “manndilaaBe”) which is a loan from Wolof “mandi”. This reliance on loanwords is due to the fact that the Fulani pastoralists were originally milk drinkers and did not produce millet beer like famer populations.
