What is Fulah and where is it spoken?

Fulah (Fulfulde / Pulaar / Pular / Fula) is a Senegambian language of the Niger-Congo family spoken by around 40 million people across some 20 countries, from Senegal to Sudan. There is no single standard; major regional varieties include Pulaar in Senegal, Pular in Guinea, Fulfulde in Nigeria and Maasina, and Adamawa Fulfulde in Cameroon.

Which script should I use for Fulah?

Fulah has been written in Latin (with diacritics for ɓ, ɗ, ƴ and ŋ), Ajami (a modified Arabic script common in Islamic communities), and since 1989 in Adlam, an alphabetic script invented by the Barry brothers in Guinea specifically for Fulfulde. Adlam is now an official Unicode script and is used in growing publishing and social media. LingoBear can generate texts in modern Latin Fulah.
