Greetings,
I am hoping that one of the brilliant brains out there can come to my aid
with a Mandinka spelling query: Is there a preferred/"official" spelling
of the word for European? I have seen the following: tubab, tubabo,
tubaab, tubaabo, toubab, toubaab, toubabo, toubaabo!! also, if anyone
would happen to know which of these spellings is correct for Malian Bamana
("Bambara"). any advice is greatly appreciated by this humble student of
Mandinka. Thank you, Ylva Hernlund
