Suduwol is a village in Upper River Division, Gambia. It is a Soninke-speaking village with a population of approximately 5000. The village is made of seven tributes (Tunkara, Jaguaraga, Sillah, Nimaga, Trawally, Sinera and Kanteh). It is currently ruled by the Tunkara tribe which holds positions such as Head of the city (Degumee) and Imam. The current head of the city is Alhagie Muhammad Massa Tunkara, brother of Alhagie Haruna MassaTunkara and Alhagie Chenna Tunkara, known has Ba-Chenna Tunkara. The Tunkaras in Gambia are all Soninke people. They live throughout West Africa and many immigrated to Europe. The Soninke, also called Saraculeh or Serahuli, are a Mande people who descend from the Bafour and closely related to the Imraguen of Mauritania. They speak Soninke, a mande language. They were the founders of the ancient empire of Ghana, 750-1240 CE. Subgroups of Soninke include the Maraka and Wangara. After contact with Muslim Almoravid traders from the north around 1066, Soninke nobles of neighboring Takrur were among the first ethnic groups from Africa to embrace Islam. When the Ghana empire dispersed, the resulting diaspora brought Soninkes to Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. This diaspora included Wangara, famous traders who spread far from traditionally Mande areas. Hence the term Wangara is used today in Ghana and Burkina Faso to describe the Soninke populations in cities and towns. The Soninke have traditionally been traders in gold, salt and diamonds. ==Diet== The Suduwol consumer a variety of foods. Breakfast foods include “Honde”, porridge made of millet, sugar, milk and salt and “Sombi” porridge made of rice, millet or corn. For lunch “Demmu Teray” and “Takhahay” are very common, both containing rice and peanuts, common Soninke ingredients. "Deray”, a stew, is a mixture of millet and beans. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suduwol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
