Wolof uses Arabic while Bambara uses Latin. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it. Wolof reads right-to-left while Bambara reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Wolof: Approximately 8.5 million native speakers, with an additional 3 million second-language speakers. Bambara: Approximately 14 million speakers, making it the most widely spoken language in Mali and serving as the lingua franca.
