    Hello I'm looking for information on a book or resources for information on the Mandingo dialect called Dioula, I want to learn the language, my primary language is English, and I have a little French. I'm going to Cote D'Ivoire in late April and would appriciate any help, my goal is to eventually write a book on relationships between African American Women and African Men. Thanks
    I've made some extesive notes on the old Kodi book, no longer in print. Most of the grammer is explained in French here:

    I've put together a personal dictionary based in my experience in Côte d'Ivoire and in Bouaké in particular:

    There is also the Bambara Peace Corps stuff which is very similar to Jula/Dioula/Dyula:
