I myself would love that! It's a big issue actually -- KZitem as a platform does not recognize Bambara/Jula/Maninka/N'ko or Manding under any name. As such, it's impossible to: 1) list the language of the video accurately [if it is in Manding]; 2) produce videos where there are "captions" that can be toggled on and off. I have reached out to KZitem about this issue, but have gotten no feedback or timeline or response. It's unfortunate since at this point, you can tag videos as being in (and therefore have captions in) lots of much smaller languages and many West African languages such as Akan, Wolof, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Wolof, Fulah. If you have any ideas about how we can get KZitem to fix this or would like to help me do so, let me know!

@Ankataa
Жыл бұрын
Hello! Short answer: Yes! The videos are labelled "Basic Bambara" for convenience's sake, but all of the forms that are taught are used and/or understood by speakers of both Bambara and Jula! Longer answer: Bambara (or Bamanan) and Jula (or Dioula [from the French spelling]) are the two closest of the major Manding varieties. In crude terms, Bambara is primarily spoken in Mali and “Dioula” in Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire. Derived from the word for “trader”, Jula is generally said to be a lingua franca form of Manding with fewer native speakers than Bambara. This ignores the case of ethnic Jula in the region, but it does capture the reality that oftentimes in western Burkina and northern Côte d'Ivoire, Jula is learned alongside one's mother tongue to facilitate interethnic communication at the market place, etc. Anyone who has learned Bambara or Jula notices them as different forms of the same language almost instantly. During my Peace Corps service I learned and spoke Jula in Burkina Faso, but after 18 months of service, I traveled to Mali and instantly received compliments on my so-called Bambara. In this sense, Bambara and Jula can almost be understood as two labels for the same thing; think of how Spanish for instance is known as both español and castellano. At the same time, Bambara and Jula aren't the exact same, just like English in New York and London isn’t the same. What are the major differences in practical terms though? See this blog post: www.ankataa.com/blog/2019/4/30/bambara-and-dioula Or this video about Bambara vs Ivoirian Jula: kzitem.info/news/bejne/sap34GGVZmafnY4 Or my dissertation (see p. 6 or p. 183 for discussion of Manding varieites): repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/2751/ As for your use of the label "Malinké", that's the French name for Maninka and it's sometimes used in Côte d'Ivoire in French instead of "Jula", because some people consider it closer the original name of the language (and an ethnic group). There are some villages in the northwest of Côte d'Ivoire where they consider themselves ethnically "maninka" and therefore use the name "Maninka" (or "Malinké" in French) instead of the label "Jula/Dioula" which they view as just a name for the lingua franca version of the language as used in the markets, etc.

@Ankataa
4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Good question! You are definitely not hearing it wrong. Classically, possessive noun phrases use "ka" for alienable things (e.g., "n ka nɛgɛso" 'my bike') and nothing for inalienable things (e.g., "n bolo" 'my arm'). The latter is generally used for family members too and this includes one's spouse (e.g., "i cɛ" and "i muso" etc). I have opted to teach and present examples using this "standard" since it's generally what is used in Bambara and what is held as "proper" by teachers and native speakers of Jula (that is, ethnic Jula). That said, the reality, as you have heard, is much more slippery! In lingua franca Jula, one often hears people say things like "n ka muso", "n ka facɛ" etc. In fact, if you listen closely in Na baro kè, you'll notice that even a few Bambara speakers end up using "ka" when talking about their spouse :-) I'd say go with whatever you hear the most, but be aware of the classical "rule" and the fact that some people may regard the over-application of "ka" as the mark of informality or the spread of an "incorrect" form.
