Bambara is a variety of a group of closely related languages called Manding, whose native speakers trace their cultural history to the medieval Mali Empire. It has a subject–object–verb clause structure and two lexical tones. Manding languages are a sub-branch of Mande languages that are part of the hypothetical Niger-Congo language family. However, as the Mande languages lack the noun-class morphology, linguists increasingly treat Mande and Atlantic–Congo as independent language families and reject the Niger-Congo hypothesis.
