Ce fut en 1964 que la quatorzime session
de la Confrence gnrale de l'Unesco
dcida d'inclure, dans le programme priori-
taire de l'Organisation, le Projet d'histoire
gnrale de l'Afrique dont les problmes
de mise en uvre furent examins au cours
de runions internationales d'experts tenues
Abidjan, Niamey et Ouagadougou.
Dans le cadre de ce Projet, l'Afrique
nigro-soudanienne retint l'attention des
spcialistes surtout en raison de l'abondance
et de la varit des sources orales, crites,
archologiques et sculpturales dont elle
dispose.
Les besoins de coordonner la collecte
et l'analyse de ces sources relatives l'his-
toire de nationalits souvent identiques de
part et d'autre des frontires politiques des
nouveaux tats soudaniens rendirent nces-
saire la cration du Centre rgional de docu-
mentation pour la tradition orale (C.R.D.T.O.)
tabli en 1968 Niamey. Charg de la
mise en uvre du Plan rgional de recher-
ches sur la tradition orale et de la coordi-
nation des projets de coopration entre les
instituts et universits de la rgion, le Centre
s'adresse notamment aux tats suivants:
Cameroun, Cte d'Ivoire, Dahomey, Gam-
bie, Ghana, Guine, Haute-Volta, Libria,
Mali, Mauritanie, Niger, Nigria, Sngal,
Sierra-Lone, Tchad et Togo.
Aux termes de ses statuts provisoires,
il tablit et excute son programme en
consultation avec les tats membres et en
collaboration avec leurs instituts nationaux
de recherche. Il exerce ses activits dans le
cadre des programmes tablis en accord
avec les tats membres et approuvs par
l'U nesco.
A cet effet, il dite un bulletin de liaison,
accorde des bourses de recherches aux
institutions nationales des tats membres,
apporte son aide des chercheurs indivi-
duels, organise des stages de formation
technique et publie, dans le cadre de ses
collections Langues africaines et Cultures
africaines, des ouvrages largement diffuss
en Afrique et dans le reste du monde.

INTRODUCTION
En septembre 1962 se tenait Prague, sous les auspices de
l'Union acadmique internationale et de ru nesco, un Col-
loque international pour l'Afrique et l'Asie, qui recommanda
que ft entreprise la rdaction d'un dictionnaire trilingue
peul-franais-anglais.
Une rsolution du cinquime Congrs des Langues de
l'Afrique occidentale, runi en avril 1965 l'Universit
d'Accra, intgra ce projet tout un programme de recherche
fondamentale labor par le Groupe d'tudes peules nouvel-
lement constitu sous les auspices de la Socit linguistique
de l'Afrique occidentale.
Par la suite, le projet peul intressa un certain nombre
d'tats et de centres de recherches africains qui demandrent
que le programme d'activits de ce Groupe ft tendu au
hawsa, s0!Jay, tamasheq, bambara et kanuri; ce qui permit
l'Unesco de runir Bamako, en mars 1966, une Confrence
linguistique consultative pour l'uniformisation des transcrip-
tions des langues inter-africaines d'alphabtisation.
En vue de la mise en uvre immdiate du matriel didac-
tique indispensable l'application des campagnes nationales
d'alphabtisation utilisant les langues africaines tudies
7
Bamako, la Confrence prsenta un ensemble de propositions
systmatiques dont les plus immdiates visaient l'labora-
tion de dictionnaires pratiques, de grammaires lmentaires
et de manuels de lecture.
Ainsi, la demande de quelques tats membres africains
(Cameroun, Guine, Mali, Niger et Nigeria), l'Unesco fit
entreprendre la rdaction du prsent ouvrage qui constitue
un dictionnaire trilingue destin fixer l'orthographe des
mots courants et runir les donnes fondamentales sur les
divers dialectes du fulfulde.
Son laboration fut confie M. David W. Arnott, profes-
seur de langues de l'Afrique occidentale la School of
Oriental and African Studies de l'Universit de Londres qui
tablit une liste de base d'environ 5 000 mots portant essen-
tiellement sur le parler peul de Gomb (Nigeria) et acces-
soirement sur des dialectes du groupe oriental (damwa,
Sokkoto, Kano, Niger oriental) et du groupe occidental
(Fota-Dialon, Fota-Tro, Mcina, Haute-Volta et Niger
occidental) l'auteur ayant pu, par le pass, sjourner dans
toutes ces contres. Ainsi rdig, l'ouvrage- fut valu par le
Groupe d'experts pour l'laboration de dictionnaires ... en
vue de l'alphabtisation en Afrique runi en avril 1967
la Maison de l'Unesco. Le groupe recommanda que le
manuscrit ft publi aprs rvision de la version franaise et
valuation sur le terrain nigrien situ au confluent des
parlers et occidentaux du fulfulde et, partant,
l'un des plus intressants pour l'tude des variations dialec-
tales. .
La version franaise de la traduction anglaise des mots
peuls fut revue et corrige par M. Pierre-Francis Lacroix,
professeur l'cole nationale des Langues orientales vivantes
de Paris.
Au cours de l'anne 1967, l'Unesco confia la vrification
du dictionnaire sur le terrain nigrien deux consultants
peuls, M. Eldridge Mohamadou du Centre fdral linguistique
et culturel de Yaound et moi-mme. M. Mohamadou fit ses
vrifications dans des localits du Niger oriental pendant que,
8
de mon ct, je travaillais sur des isoglosses du Niger
occidental.
Au terme de ces enqutes, l'ouvrage fut soumis, pour mise
en forme dfinitive, au deuxime Stage rgional de formation
linguistique organis Niamey en aot I968, qui le vrifia
et le complta grce la collaboration des stagiaires et du
consultant de langue peule runis cette occasion.
V ne ultime mise en forme rdactionnelle me fut confie
par l'V nesco; je ne pus la mener terme que grce la
collaboration d'une quipe compose de Mlle Jolle Laurent,
diplme de l'cole nationale des Langues orientales
vivantes qui prparait une thse sur les Contes peuls ;
Mme Marie-Jos Mencacci, diplme d'tudes suprieures
anglaises et M. Geoffrey V arley, journaliste anglais la
Nouvelle agence de presse (N .A.P.).
Le dictionnaire pratique ainsi labor est un lexique de base
destin l'alphabtisation. Cela signifie qu'il ne constitue
gure une liste exhaustive des termes utiliss, mme frquem-
ment, dans les activits conomiques et professionnelles impor-
tantes des principaux dialectes. C'est un dictionnaire l-
mentaire.
Destin l'alphabtisation, il fait suite au syllabaire
1
et au
manuel de lecturefulfulde

Il propose ainsi, son tour, une
standardisation de l'orthographe par-del les frontires poli-
tiques, en vue de promouvoir la comprhension mutuelle au
niveau des communauts linguistiques et des rgions gogra-
phiques qui utilisent lefulfulde comme instrument de commu-
nication. ce titre, il servira indiquer et fixer l'ortho-
graphe correcte du vocabulaire usuel de la langue selon la
transcription recommande par la Confrence de Bamako et
selon les rgles de notation proposes par la commission de
peul qui travailla dans le cadre de cette confrence.
Il n'a point paru ncessaire de donner la liste complte et
parfaitement nuance des sens possibles de chacun des mots

du lexique. Ce travail revient de droit au dictionnaire culturel
de la langue peule dont le projet avait t arrt lors du Colloque
de Prague et du Congrs d'Accra.
L'ordre des mots, dans le dictionnaire, est le suivant: a, e,
i, 0 et u pour les mots qui commencent par l'occlusive glottale;
et b, , mb, c, d, ri, nd,f, g, ng, Iz,j, nj, k, l, m, n, '!), 1!Y, p, q, r, s, t, w,
x, y,J
P
et Z pour ceux qui commencent par des consonnes.
Le texte donne l'orthographe des radicaux verbaux avec
les suffixes du subjonctif -a si le verbe est actif (VA), -00 s'il
est moyen (VM) et -aa s'il est passif (vp). Il et t prfrable,
pour viter quelques rptitions, d'indiquer entre parenthses,
aprs chaque radical verbal, les abrviations usuelles (VA-VM-
vp). Mais un tel procd et comport quelques risques de
confusion avec l'identification des dialectes quise trouvent
galement indi.qus entre parenthses par des abrviations;
par ailleurs, tels verbes qui n'existent qu' la voix active dans
certains parlers, n'admettent que la moyenne ou la passive
dans d'autres.
La liste des mots peuls est donne en caractres gras. Dans
la plupart des cas, les nominaux se prsentent sous deux
formes spares par une petite barre oblique; gauche de la
barre se trouve la forme du singulier et, sa droite, celle du
pluriel. Entre parenthses, figurent les initiales des dialectes
qui acceptent le signifiant tel qu'il est indiqu. Il importe de
noter que A signifie damwa, D Dahomey, FJ Fota-Dialon,
FT Fota-Tro, G Gomb, GAMB. Gambie, K Kano, M Mcina,
N Niger (Est & Ouest), NE Niger-est, NO Niger-ouest, s Sok-
koto et V Haute-Volta.
Aprs les initiales des dialectes figurent, en italique, la
traduction du mot peul en franais et, aprs un point-virgule,
sa traduction en anglais.
Sous la ligne des versions franaise et anglaise sont men-
tionnes, en romain, les variantes dialectales et quelques
synonymes courants.
Il arrive qu'on n'explique pas immdiatement un terme et
qu'on se contente de le renvoyer, par un cj., un autre terme
transcrit en gras.
10
Lorsqu'un mot traduit ne porte aucune initiale d'identifica-
tion dialectale, il est gnralement compris et utilis, dans
tous les dialectes prcits, sous la forme reproduite dans cet
ouvrage.
Il est minemment souhaitable que ce dictionnaire pra-
tique, prpar et dit grce l'aide de l'Unesco, reoive
l'accueil enthousiaste des utilisateurs et des chercheurs de tous
les dialectes et de tous les pays afin qu'ils puissent, leur tour
et leur niveau, le vrifier, le rectifier, l'enrichir et le pr-
ciser; ce qui contribuera l'laboration du dictionnaire
gnral de la langue peule dont la ralisation parat aujour-
d'hui s'imposer aprs l'aboutissement de cette premire tape.

INTRODUCTION
In September, 1962, an international conference for Africa
and Asia, held in Prague under the patronage of the Inter-
national Academic Union and of Unesco, recommended the
preparation of a Fulani-French-English trilingual dictionary.
A resolution of the Fifth Congress of West African
Languages which met at the University of Accra in April,
1965, integrated the scheme into a wide programme of
fundamental research, worked out by the Committee of
Fulani Studies, newly constituted by the West African
Linguistic Society.
Later, several African countries and research centres
expressed an interest in the Fulani project and asked that the
programme of the commttee be extended to Hawsa, SO!Jay,
Tamasheq, Bambara and Kanuri. The result was that Unesco
convened in March, 1966, in Bamako, a meeting of a group
of experts for the unification of the transcription of national
languages.
For the immediate preparation of the teaching material
essential for national literacy campaigns in the languages
under consideration at Bamako, the conference made a
number of proposaIs. These concerned, first of aIl, the prepa-
13
ration of practical dictionaries, elernentary grarnrnars and
reading manuals. Thus, at the request of sorne of the rnernber
African states-Cameroun, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Nigeria
-Unesco sponsored the compilation of this trilingual dictio-
nary aimed at establishing the spelling of common words and
assembling the fundamental elernents of the various Fulfulde
dialects.
The preparation of the dictionary was undertaken by
Professor David W. Arnott, professor of West African
Languages of the University of London's School of Oriental
and African Studies. He assembled a basic list of about
5,000 words originating mainly from the Fulfulde dialect
spoken in the Gombe area of Nigeria, but also based rnargin-
ally on the "Eastern group" (Adarnawa, Sokkoto, Kano,
Eastern Niger) and on the "Western group" (Futa-Jalon,
Futa-Toro, Masina, Upper Volta and Western Niger). In the
past, the author had stayed in all these areas. The work was
then evaluated by the group of experts on the development
of didactic material for literacy in Africa in April, 1967, at
Unesco headquarters in Paris.- The committee for the prepara-
tion of dictionaries recommended that the manuscript be
published after revision of the French version and after
evaluation of its contents in Niger on the frontier of the
eastern and western dialect groups-incidentally-one of the
most interesting are as for the study of dialect variations.
The French version of the English translation of the
Fulfulde words was revised and corrected by Prof essor Pierre-
Francis Lacroix of the cole nationale des Langues orientales
vivantes in Paris.
In 1967, Unesco comrnissioned two Fulani consultants,
Mr. Eldridge Moharnadou of the Yaounde Federal Linguistic
and Cultural Centre and rnyself to carry out the work of
evaluation in Niger. Mr. Moharnadou carried out bis verifi-
cations in localities of eastern Niger while l worked on the
"isoglosses" of western area of the country.
On the completion of these investigations, the work was
submitted of the second regional linguistic training
14
Seminar, he Id in Niamey in August, 1968, for final revision,
which was done with the assistance of the participants and
of the Fulani consultant in charge of the seminar.
I was entrusted, by Unesco, with the final editing and
preparation of the work for publication-a task I was only
able to carry out thanks to the collaboration of a team com-
posed of: Miss Jolle Laurent, a graduate of the cole
nationale des Langues orientales vivantes, who was writing a
thesis on "Fulani Tales"; Mrs. Marie-Jos Mencacci, who
holds a post-graduate Diploma in English Studies; and
Mr. Geoffrey VarIey, an English journalist on the staff of the
Nouvelle agence de presse (N .A.P.).
The resulting Practical Dictionary is a basic glossary aimed
at promoting literacy; this me ans that it is not an exhaustive
list of words used, even frequently, in the main dialects in
economic and professional activities. It is an elementary
dictionary.
It is a follow up of the syllabaryl and of the Fulfulde primer
2

It thus offers in its turn, a standardized spelling transcending
political boundaries and aims at facilitating mutual under-
standing among the linguistic communities and geographical
areas which use Fulfulde as a language of communication. The
dictionary will thus serve to indicate and fix the correct
spelling of common words in line with the transcription
recommended by the Bamako conference and according to
the transcription practises proposed by the Fulfulde committee
which sat at that conference.
I t did not seem necessary to give a complete list of aIl the
meanings and nuances of each word in the glossary. This will
be the function of the Cultural Fulfulde Dictionary, plans for
which were made at Prague and at Accra.
Order of words in the dictionary is as foIlows: a, e, i, 0, u
for the words which begin with the glottal stop; and b, ,
1. Janngenfulfulde l, Prsence africaine, Paris, 1969.
2. Janngenfulfulde II, C.R.D.T.O., Niamey, 1970.
mb, c, d, ri, nd, J, g, ng, h, j, nj, k, l, m, n, 1j, ny, p, q, f, S, t, w,
x,y,Y', z for those which begin with consonants.
The text gives the spelling of verb stems with the sub-
junctive suffixes-a if the verb is active (AV),-oO if it is
middle (MY) and-aa ifit is passive (pv). It would have been
preferable, to avoid repetition, to indicate in brackets the
usual abbreviations after each verb stem (AV-MV-PV). But
there would have been a risk of confusion over the identifica-
tion of the dialects which are aIso indicated by abbreviations.
In addition, some verbs which exist only in the active voice
in certain dialects, are found only in the middle or passive
voices in others.
The list of Fulfulde words is given in thick type. In most
cases the nominaIs are presented under two forms separated
by an oblique stroke; the word on the left of the stroke
indicates the singular form, and that on the right the plural.
The abbreviations of the dialects which accept the word as
indicated then follow in brackets.
The abbreviations are as follows:
A Adamawa, D Dahomey, FJ Futa-Jalon, FI' Futa-Toro,
G Gombe, GAMB. Gambia, K Kano, M Masina, N Niger (East
& West), NE Eastern NIger, NO Western Niger, s Sokkoto,
v Upper Volta.
After the initiais of the dialects will be found, in italics,
the French translations of the Fulfulde words; the English
translations follow in italics after a semi-colon.
Beneath the French and English translations, will be
found, in roman characters, dialect variants and a few common
synonyms.
It sometimes happens that a term is not explained imme-
diately, but refferred, by a cj., to another term transcribed
in thick type.
When a word is found with a translation but no abbrevia-
tion indicating the dialect, this means that it is generally
understood and used in aIl the above dialects in the form in
which it is found in this dictionary.
It is to be hoped that the Practical Dictionary, prepared
16
and published thanks to Unesco assistance, receives an enthu-
siastic welcome from its users and from linguistic researchers
in aIl countries so that they may in their turn and at their
level verify it, correct it, enrich it and comment on it. AlI this
would contribute to the General Fulani Dictionary whose
preparation will follow the Practical Dictionary.

ACHEV D'IMPRIMER SUR LES PRESSES
DE L'IMPRIMERIE SAINTE-CATHERINE S.A.
TEMPELHOF 37,
BRUGES, BELGIQUE.
It was in the General Confer-
ence at its fourteenth session, decided to
include in the Unesco programme a project
for preparing a General History of Mrica;
the preliminary problems had been examin-
ed at international meetings of experts
held in Abidjan, Niamey and Ouagadougou.
Under this project, the Nigero-Sudanese
part of Mrica received particular attention
from specialists because of the abundance
and variety of its oral and written sources
and of archaelogy and sculpture.
In order to co-ordinate the collection
and analysis of these sources for the history
of nationalities that often cross the political
frontiers of new States, a Regional Documen-
tation Centre for Oral Tradition (C.R.D.T.O.)
was established in Niamey in 1968. Re-
sponsible for carrying out the plan of
regional research on oral traditions, and
the co-ordination of projects for co-operation
between institutes and universities in the
region, the Centre works mainly with the
following States: Cameroon, Chad, Daho-
mey, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory
Coast, Upper Volta, Liberia, Mali, Mauri-
tania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra
Leone and Togo.
Under the terms ofits provisional statutes
"the Centre draws up and carries out its
programme in consultation with the Mem-
ber States and in collaboration with their
national research institutes, and operates
under programmes established in agreement
with the Member States and approved by
Unesco."
For these purposes, it publishes a liaison
bulletin, awards research fellowships to the
national institutes of the Member States,
aids individual research workers, organizes
technical training courses and, in the Lan-
gues africaines and Cultures africaines series,
publishes items which receive a wide distri-
bution in Mrica and in the rest of the world.
