Ajami Literacy and the Expansion of Literacy and Islam: The Case of West AfricaThis Boston University research project, Ajami Literacy and the Expansion of Literacy and Islam: The Case of West Africa, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, has digitized a unique selection of manuscripts in Ajami in four major West African languages (Hausa, Mandinka, Fula, and Wolof), transcribed and translated them into English and French, prepared commentary, and created related multimedia resources to be made widely available to the scholarly community and the general public.
