Mandinka people?

Is there any overlap between this article and Mandinka people? --Joy [shallot] 19:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Well I'd expect some, because the Mandinka are a one of the Mandé peoples. But upon reading Mandinka people, I think that much of it belongs here in Mandé rather than there; as far as I know, Mandinka is the specific name for the Mandé branch in Senegal. Good catch! — mark ✎ 06:48, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

As the desert began to expand, the population headed South.Itzcoatl 17:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
