Grundkurs Bambara (Manding)

Bambarština (též bambara a bamanankan) je jazyk asi šesti milionů primárních i sekundárních mluvčích v Mali. Jen minimálně se liší od jazyka Dioula, jenž je používán menšími skupinami mluvčích v Burkině Faso, Pobřeží slonoviny a v Gambii.

Edition of the Elementary Bambara Course provides the learner with the basic knowledge of the structure of Bambara (Manding), an important lingua franca of West Africa and one of the national languages of Mali. The variant used in the manual is the standardized form which is based on the dialect of Bamako, the capital of Mali. The lessons are divided into a grammatical part, the vocabulary and an exercise and translation part. An appendix with Bambara texts and an index of the vocabulary encourage independent reading. This course is primarily intended for language instruction at universities, but it is equally suitable for self-instruction.
