Annotation
The Casamance region of southern Senegal is featured by widespread societal and individual multilingualism with many minority languages preserved. Elaborate
small-scale multilingualism induces intricate language contact results. Results can disclose detailed history of contact between populations. Collation of lexica of small languages supplies evidence of micro-histories.
