It belongs to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorosoro.org\/en\/niger-congo-languages\">Niger-Congo family<\/a> (North-Atlantic branch, Tenda-Nyun group) and includes several dialectal variations. In 2006, Ethnologue.com estimated the number of Baynunk speakers around 6,200, figures leading to consider Baynunk an \u00ab endangered language \u00bb according to UNESCO standards. Widely understudied, Baynunk was finally codified in 2005 and now comprises an official spelling system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorosoro.org\/en\/tale-2-how-the-hare-escaped-the-hyena\">Watch Tale 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorosoro.org\/en\/baynunk-tale-3-the-hyena-who-thought-she-was-stronger-than-the-billy-goat\">Watch Tale 3<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"..\/en\/baynunk-tale-4-how-a-child-terrorized-the-animals-of-the-forest-%E2%80%93-part-1\">Watch Tale 4 &#8211; Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorosoro.org\/en\/baynunk-tale-4-how-a-child-terrorized-the-animals-of-the-forest%E2%80%93part-2\">Watch Tale 4 &#8211; Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"..\/en\/videos-in-baynunk-senegal\">Watch all our videos in Baynunk<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"610\" height=\"370\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nz854mFyEmE?fs=1&amp;hl=fr_FR\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"610\" height=\"370\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nz854mFyEmE?fs=1&amp;hl=fr_FR\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Linguist<\/span>: Sokhna Bao-Diop<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Image &amp; sound<\/span>: Muriel Lutz assisted by Cheikh Tidiane Sall<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Editing<\/span>: Caroline Laurent<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Video created within the <em>ANR S\u00e9n\u00e9langues <\/em>project<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are on Baynunk territory, in Niamone, close to Ziguinchor, Casamance ; and with everyone around a bonfire Issouf Coly begins tales that may remind of some of the La Fontaine Fables.
