Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how soudanais appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Les langues négro-africaines se répartissent, à simplifier beaucoup les faits, en 2 grandes familles : le soudanais parlé du cap Vert à l’Abyssinie ; le bantou, largement répandu dans le centre, l’est et le sud du continent.
Mais nous avons vu que, sans même tenir compte du groupe semi-bantou, les preuves d’une relation entre le bantou et le soudanais occidental sont suffisantes.
