The term Senufo commonly refers to a linguistic group comprised of about thirty related dialects within the larger Gur language family. Many Senufo speakers live, work, and interact with people who use many other languages in the towns and cities in a region located between the northern reaches of West Africa's coastal forests and the southern reach of the Sahara desert. Many people in rural West African Senufo-speaking communities continue to pursue agricultural work. They cultivate a wide variety of crops, including cotton and cash crops for the international market. They also actively support the arts, including a wealth of masquerade art and figurative sculpture. Other Senufo read more
