The Léhar or Laalaa , as its own name, is a language of Senegal that is spoken in Laa ( Léhar ), a region that comprises 18 places in the north of the Thiès and whose inhabitants are the Laalaa.
Like the Saafi , Noon , Ndut and Palor languages , it is one of the Cangin languages that is included in the northern branch of the West Atlantic languages , which belong to the Niger-Congo language family . Of the Cangin languages, Laalaa is the least well researched linguistically. The vocabulary of Laalaa and Noon matches 86%, so the intercomprehension is quite wide.
Other names are Lehar, Lehaar, Laalaa, Laala, Lala, (the Léhar is called laa in the language laalaa).
distribution
The number of speakers was 10,925 in 2002 .
One meets this language especially in the north of the Thiès , around the places Pambaal, Bargaro and Duuña. The Leharis have a younger generation of intellectuals and civil servants in large numbers, who use the French language on a daily basis.

Individual evidence
- ↑ The laalaa est le parler de la communauté linguistique dite "cangin" le moins dans le domaine décrit linguistique. "Les langues cangin peuvent être classées, selon […] Joseph GREENBERG (1970), comme appartenant au groupe ouest-atlantique de la branche niger-congo de la famille congo-kordofanienne" (SIL 1993). Notons que le laalaa est le plus souvent assimilé au noon. En effet il ya une intercompréhension très nett entre le laalaa et le noon qui ont un lexique commun estimé à 86% (Cf.

- ↑ "Le Laa (encore appelé Léhar) compte around 18 villages: Baam, Bapat, Bargaro, Bësia, Bicoona, Duuñë, Gogon, Haak, Jalkin, Jëëfuñ, Joy, Kaadaan, Kii, Kolobaan, Pambaal, Sowaaboon, Tuubi, Yindën. Signalons que nous retrouvons les Laalaa aussi en dehors de la région de Thiès. Par exemple une forte communauté Laalaa a migré, entre 1984 et 1986, à Ngeen et à Saal, dans la région de Tambacounda "(cf.
