They were considered a wide socially organized group referred to as the [[Djolof Empire]], which historically dwelled in the northwestern part of [[Senegal]] in the 14th century. A strong linguistic case has been made to show that the western Afrikan Wolof people derive from [[ancient Kemet]].The kinship between Wolof and [[Medu Neter]](ancient Egyptian language) is critical in pointin gout Wolof’s language heritage.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Negro-Egyptian languages]]</div>
