Darth is right.

Answer 2

And Hennie is right about Darth.

Answer 3

I know it's spoken in Senegal. In fact Ishmael Lo sings some of his songs in Wolof.

Here's a link that has more information on the language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolof_langu...

Answer 4

Wolof is a Niger-Congo language with about 7 million speakers in Senegal, France, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Mauritania. Wolof is one of the six national languages of Senegal (Senegaal / سِنِڭَالْ), along with Serer, Mandinka, Pulaar, Diola and Soninke.

The Wolof orthography using the Latin alphabet was standardised in 1974. Before then Wolof was usually written with a version of the Arabic script known as Wolofal, which is still used by many older men in Senegal.

I personally have heard it only once spoken and cannot even think of learning it. It looks like a complicated language to me.
