Waraba ka sanu b??laj?ni: Mansa Musa ka Tariku

#343B in the Bilingual Legends series. This book is presented in Bambara, in both the Latin and N'ko scripts.


Of all the kings the world has ever known, none was ever so rich as Mansa Musa. But what else did the Lion of Mali do for his empire?


The Bambara language is spoken in Mali and several bordering countries, with the West African N'ko script being of greater popularity in the south of the country, as well as in Guinea and the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire).


This book aims to help Bambara speaking children learn the West African N'ko script. It does this by providing the text in N'ko along with the Latin script of Bambara, which is currently the only script taught at most schools in Mali.


Migrants can connect their children with their heritage by reading this book to them regardless of which script they understand best.


The additional material (e.g. questions) at the back of the book is provided in French because that was the official language of Mali until January 2022. Consequently, it could be of some use to teachers even if they themselves speak do not speak Bambara.

About the Author

A sci-fi isekai adventure full of ray guns and girls! And don't miss the manga adaptation, or Survival in Another World with My Mistress! by the same author—both also from Seven Seas.

When Satou Takahiro is swept away from his ordinary life into the world of his favorite video game, a universe of space battles, interstellar colonies, and danger in the vastness of outer space awaits. Soon, he’s living as “Hiro” the mercenary, with a tricked-out spaceship and a babe on each arm! There are space pirates to fight, girls to rescue, and trouble to get into (and hopefully out of). Hiro is going to live his new life to the fullest!
