There are millions of speakers, chiefly in Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ivory Coast. The Mande languages have traditionally been considered a divergent branch of the Niger–Congo family, but that has always been controversial. HistoryThe group was first recognized in 1854 by Sigismund Wilhelm Koelle, in his Polyglotta Africana. He mentioned 13 languages under the heading North-Western High-Sudan Family, or Mandéga Family of Languages. In 1901, Maurice Delafosse made a distinction of two groups.[1] He speaks of a northern group mandé-tan and a southern group mandé-fu. The distinction was basically done only because the languages in the north use the expression tan for ten, and the southern languages use fu. In 1924, Louis Tauxier noted that the distinction is not well founded and there is at least a third subgroup he called mandé-bu. It was not until 1950 that André Prost supported that view and gave further details. In 1958, Welmers published an article The Mande Languages where he divided the languages into three subgroups: North-West, South and East. His conclusion was based on lexicostatistic research. Joseph Greenberg followed that distinction in his The Languages of Africa (1963). Long (1971) and Gérard Galtier (1980) follow the distinction into three groups but with notable differences. Various opinions exist as to the age of the Mande languages. Greenberg has suggested that the Niger-Congo group, which in his view includes the Mande languages, began to break up around 7000 years BP. Its speakers practised a Neolithic culture, as indicated by the Proto-Niger-Congo words for "cow", "goat" and "cultivate".[2] ClassificationMande does not share the morphology characteristic of most of the Niger–Congo family, such as the noun-class system. Blench regards it as an early branch that, like Ijoid and perhaps Dogon, diverged before it developed. Dwyer (1998) compared it with other branches of Niger–Congo and finds that they form a coherent family, with Mande being the most divergent of the branches he considered. However, Dimmendaal (2008) argues that the evidence for inclusion is slim, with no new evidence for decades, and for now Mande is best considered an independent family.[3] Most internal Mande classifications are based on lexicostatistics, and the results are unreliable (see, for example, Vydrin (2009),[4] based on the Swadesh list).[5] The following classification from Kastenholz (1996) is based on lexical innovations and comparative linguistics;[6] details of East Mande are from Dwyer (1989, 1996), summarized in Williamson & Blench 2000.[7] {{clade| label1=Mande | 1={{clade | label1={{nowrap| East Mande }} (Dan–Busa) | 1={{clade | label1=South(east) Mande | 1={{clade | label1= Mano–Dan | 1={{clade | 1=Mano | label2= Guro–Dan | 2={{clade | 1=Dan–Goo–Tura | 2=Guro–Yaure }} }} | label2= Nwa–Beng | 2={{clade | 1=Mwa–Wan | 2=Gban–Beng }} }} | label2= Bisa–Busa | 2={{clade | 2=Bissa | label1= Samo–Busa | 1={{clade | 1=Samo | label2=Busa languages | 2={{clade | 1=Busa–Boko | 2=Shanga–Tyenga }} }} }} }} | label2=West Mande | 2={{clade | label1={{nowrap|Central West }} (Manding–Kpelle) | 1={{clade | label1=Central Mande | 1={{clade | 2=Susu–Yalunka | label1= Manding–Jɔgɔ | 1={{clade | label1=Jɔgɔ–Jeri | 1={{clade | 1=Jeri | 2=Jɔgɔ languages (Ligbi) | label2= Manding–Vai | 2={{clade | 1=Vai–Kɔnɔ (and maybe Dama) | label2={{nowrap| Manding–Mokole }} | 2={{clade | 1=Manding languages | 2=Mokole languages }} }} }} }} | label2= Southwest Mande | 2={{clade | 2=Kpɛllɛ | label1= Mende–Loma | 1={{clade | 1=Looma | label2= Mende–Bandi | 2={{clade | 1=Bandi–Zialo | 2=Mɛnde–Loko }} }} }} }} | label2=Northwest (Samogo–Soninke) | 2={{clade | 2=Jɔ (Jowulu) | label1= Northwest proper | 1={{clade | 2=Samogo languages (partial: Duun–Sembla) | label1= Soninke–Bobo | 1={{clade | 1=Bɔbɔ | label2= Soninke–Bozo | 2={{clade | 1=Soninke | 2=Bozo }} }} }} }} }} }} }} Paperno describes Beng and extinct Gbin as two primary branches of Southern Mande. CharacteristicsMande languages do not have the noun-class system or verbal extensions of the Atlantic–Congo languages and for which the Bantu languages are so famous, but Bobo has causative and intransitive forms of the verb. Southwestern Mande languages and Soninke have initial consonant mutation. Plurality is most often marked with a clitic; in some languages, with tone, as for example in Sembla. Pronouns often have alienable–inalienable and inclusive–exclusive distinctions. Word order in transitive clauses is subject–auxiliary–object–verb–adverb. Mainly postpositions are used. Within noun phrases, possessives come before the noun, and adjectives and plural markers after the verb; demonstratives are found with both orders.[7] CognatesHere are some cognates from D. J. Dwyer ({{angbr|j}} is {{IPA|[dʲ]}} or {{IPA|[d͡ʒ]}}):[8]
Note that in these cognates: 'saliva' = 'mouth'+'water', 'milk' = 'breast'+'water', 'buck (he-goat)' = 'goat'+'male', 'ram' = 'sheep'+'male'. See also
