Manding > Marka

Preferred term

Marka  

Definition

  • Marka, also called Dafing, is a Manding language of West Africa, spoken in northwest Burkina Faso. Manding languages are a sub-branch of Mande languages that are part of the hypothetical Niger-Congo language family. However, as the Mande languages lack the noun-class morphology, linguists increasingly treat Mande and Atlantic–Congo as independent language families and reject the Niger-Congo hypothesis.
