How do you say good morning in Gambian?

There's no single, universal "good morning" greeting in Gambian. Gambia has several languages, with the most spoken being Mandinka, Wolof, and Fula. Here are some greetings in those languages:

* Mandinka:

* "Kàlàn, fò" (Informal, to someone you know well) - Literally "Good morning"

* "Màrìba" (Formal, to someone you don't know well) - "Good morning"

* Wolof:

* "Jamm" (Informal, to someone you know well) - "Good morning"

* "Nañu lañu" (Formal, to someone you don't know well) - "Good morning"

* Fula:

* "Ñaŋngol ñaaŋngal" (Informal, to someone you know well) - "Good morning"

* "Ñaŋngol ñaaŋngal nafo" (Formal, to someone you don't know well) - "Good morning"

It's important to note:

* Using the informal greetings with someone you don't know well can be considered rude.

* If you're unsure which language to use, a simple "Good morning" in English will be understood.

Hope this helps!
