Are people from Mali ok with brits (just asking on all the subs I'm posting on since we aren't liked in some places )
I heard it, but I'm doubtful.
How's everyone doing? I wanted to ask if anyone knows about a ancient group of people called Tellem and what is their origin? I heard they are wrongly labeled as pygmies
were the Bambara affected by the TAST? if so, where did they settle?
Bonjour à tous, dans le cadre de mes études de Master, mon université m'a demandé d'étudier une langue "native to Africa". Après quelques recherches, j'ai opté pour le bambara, étant donné que mes études portent principalement sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest, et que la langue me semble très agréable, ce qui me semble logique.
Malheureusement, je n'ai pas réussi à trouver quelque chose de sérieux en ligne. Je suis peut-être un peu trop sceptique, jcp. Si quelqu'un connaît qqn qui enseigne le bambara ou qui serait prêt à m'enseigner le bambara en ligne, merci de me le faire savoir. Ou mieux encore, mais c'est peu probable, si quelqu'un connaît quelqu'un qui enseigne le bambara à Pékin, CHine.
Je recherche idéalement un locuteur natif qui pourra m'enseigner en français, en allemand, en anglais, en albanais ou en italien. Comme je ne suis pas sûr de la langue que vous préférez parler dans ce subreddit, je joindrai le même message ci-dessous en anglais:
Hello everyone, as part of my Master studies I was asked by my university to study a native African language. After some research I landed on Bambara, as the main focus of my studies is West-Africa anyways, and the language sounds lovely, it seems to make sense to me.
Unfortunately, however, I have not been able to find anything serious looking online. Maybe I am a bit too sceptical. If anyone knows anyone who teaches Bambara or would be willing to teach me Bambara online, please let me know. Or even better, but unlikely, if someone knows of someone teaching Bambara in Beijing.
I am ideally looking for a native speaker that will be able to teach me in either, French, German, English or Italian
Goodevening, i am noah kaplan a freelance journalist. I am looking for a guide or person who knows his way around northern mali (timbouctou, gao, kidal) of course for compensation URGENT!

Merci à tous!

I’m not from mail but I recently discovered Mali music from TikTok the song Sigi Kuruni. I had it on repeat the whole weak. It sounds so good! I’m not sure what the translation of it is but I really like the sound of the language and instrument. What language is this ?
Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Mali. My questions are:
What is more popular? PC or console?
What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?
What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!
What do racing game fans in Mali play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)
In general, what games are played there?

How's everyone doing ? I read an article about how a group of people migrating from Ouagadou went to the region of mande where they found a people called "Korobagadougou". Does anyone know what the term translates to and who are these people? Would the Malinke and Bambara expansion be a result of those people from ouagadou and these "Korobagadougou" intermixing?
How about enterprenurers launching free tv channels for students across the country where the interactive lessons may broadcast grade and topicwise. Making interesting programs like young students providing free education to poor, programs about making relevant projects in home and/or institutes, program on testing foreign grain/fruits/plants/projects on different types across country, program on implementing one-house-one-farm project in rural areas, exploring and creating local businesses and works, program on interecting expatriates to implement foreign succeccful projects in home, program on making local commnities self-sufficient, programs about competition on different things among schools, colleges, universities and uniting different communities etc. What do you think?

I am planning to travel to Nothwest Africa in a few weeks as part of my journey to visit every country. Upon research, I understand that Mali (and Burkina Faso) are both "Do Not Travels" by most governments, however I am reading that if I stick to the capital cities, I should mostly be fine. Is this still the case for Bamako? What if I take a bus to Burkina Faso, does that increase the risk of safety as a foreigner? I am a 36 male American.
If anyone knows where i can buy a table tennis table in bamako, thanks for references
Aside from tech are there any ride share apps like uber?
What city in mali has the highest population of soninke ? And i also read that the bambara are the royalty class of the old soninke empire. How true is that?

I used to live in The Gambia, near two villages names Yorobaol and Boro Kanda Kassy. I hear those phrases 'yoro baol' (or yero bawol maybe?) and kanda kassy in various Bambara songs. I also know that there was a pre-colonial kingdom in Senegal caled Baol. What do those phrases mean?
are you determined your tribal membership by your father? or is that only in islam
I believe that work is what our beloved country needs in order to thrive. An EDM employee just got at our home and explained he belonged to a team whose mission is to inventoring all of EDM's equipment in the whole country. They'd go door after door and gather precious data about home's electrical setup.
At first, my father was suspicious cause he didn't know if the man was telling the truth. Then I showed up and understood quickly he wasn't trying to scam. He showed me the app they used to collect the information and since I'm a computer scientist, I quickly understood that this couldn't be a scam.
I then welcomed him properly and assisted him in his work as much as I could. I tried to chat with him and make him realise how important his work actually is. I was really happy to see a hard working Malian and just wanted to give him force. I even wanted to give him a tip but I didn't have my wallet nearby.
I want with this post to make Malians consider work as one of the most important values. Let's make all workers proud of their job because only work is path to our salvation.
