9/20/2023 0 Comments Fulani flat bread![]() ![]() The early origin of Fulani People is most fascinating and deepened in mystery with widely divergent opinions. The Fulani are traditionally a nomadic, pastoralist, trading people, herding cattle, goats and sheep across the vast dry hinterlands of their domain, keeping somewhat separate from the local agricultural populations. The Woɗaaɓe, also known as the Bororo, are a subgroup of the Fula people. In Mali, for instance, those who are not ethnically Fula have been referred to as yimɓe pulaaku (people of the Fula culture). Fula society in some parts of West Africa features the “caste” divisions typical of the region. ![]() These people are often referred to together with Fulɓe of the region as Haalpulaar’en (Pulaar-speakers). In Portuguese it’s Fula or Futafula.Ī closely related group is the Tukolor (Toucouleur) in the central Senegal River valley. More recently the Fulfulde / Pulaar term Fulɓe, which is a plural noun (singular, Pullo) has been adapted to English as Fulbe, which some people use. The French borrowed the Wolof term Pël, which is variously spelled: Peul, Peulh, and even Peuhl. Fula and Fulani are commonly used in English, including within Africa. Fula, from Manding languages is also used in English, and sometimes spelled Fulah or Foulah. Fulani in English is borrowed from the Hausa term. There are also many names (and spellings of the names) used in other languages to refer to the Fulɓe.
