LCSH: Mandingo; AE: Manding; E: Mandinka. The Manding peoples are a very large group of historically and linguistically related populations dispersed in various countries in West Africa. They speak related Mande languages and often ultimately look to the Mali Empire as their ancestral home. The designation Manding is derived from the toponym Mande, a historically significant region on the Upper Niger. Because of 'fluctuations in nasalization', the term Mande is known in such regional variants as Manden, Mandin, Mani, Mali. ... The variant name Mandi-nka is the result of the suffixation of the formative element 'ka or -nka, which helps in the derivation of adjectival stems from toponyms (AE, p. xvii-xviii).
