Gambian English

Gambian English is the variety of English spoken in The Gambia by Gambians and anyone else who speaks Gambian English. ^[1]^[2] Gambian English has fewer speakers than any other variety of West African English (WAE), and shares similarities with Sierra Leonean English.^[3] The differences between Gambian English and other dialects of African English are mostly lexical and pronunciative. Gambian English has been influenced by various indigenous languages.^[4]
