The Pulaar Fulfulde is a dialect which is spoken as a first language, especially by the people of the Fulbe and the assimilated Tukulör (or Toorobe ) in the valley of the Senegal River, which is traditionally known as Futa Toro known.

The Pulaar - speakers, known as Haalpulaar'en, live in Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia, Guinea -Bissau and in Western Mali.

There are several dialectal differences, but all dialects are mutually intelligible.

Pulaar should not be confused with the Pular, another variety of Fula, which ( is including the Fouta Jallon region, spoken) in Guinea- Conakry. The Pulaar and Pular varieties of Fulfulde are understandable to a certain degree, but use a different literature.

Pulaar is written in a modified Latin alphabet, but was known as a written Adschami font also because of Islamization by the Arabs in the north with an Arabic alphabet.

Linguistic peculiarities
