Safaliba is a Gur language of Ghana. A recent project has developed a writing system for the language in order to enable its use in adult education and early school instruction. The Safaliba writing system is based on the work (1996) of Edmund Kuŋi Yakubu, a Safaliba teacher and activist; a few changes in that system were made by Paul and Jennifer Schaefer, based on their phonological work, but the writing system for the most part stayed the same. Safaliba audio recordings have been documented, transcribed, and discussed in Sherris, Schaefer, and Aworo (2018).

  • Safaliba (auch Safali, Safalaba, Safalba) ist die westafrikanische Sprache der Safaliba mit nur noch ca. 4.000 Sprechern in Ghana (2003) direkt westlich und südlich von Bole, im Westen der Northern Region in den Dörfern Mandari, Tanyire, Manfuli und Gbenfu sowie in einigen Siedlungen in der Nähe der Städte Bote, Sawla, Kalba. Einige Sprecher wurden in Vonkoro ung Bound in der Elfenbeinküste gezählt. Deren Anzahl ist jedoch nicht näher bestimmt. Eine lexikarische Übereinstimmung zu 79 % soll mit Dagaare bestehen. (de)
