Introduction
This web site is devoted to the Zarma people and the language they speak.
It has been more than twenty years ago that I first set foot on the African continent, 1983 to be precise.
I lived and worked in Niger for only three years and stayed a few weeks in Burkina Faso, Benin and Togo, as well. But as someone once said: "If you've been bitten by the African bug, you will never ever be able to get it out of your mind."
With this web site I hope to show you some of the richness of the culture of the people living in the Songhay region of west Africa. |
