Kpelle Language
The Kpelle language is a member of the Mande language family, primarily spoken in Liberia and parts of Guinea. It is the most widely spoken language in Liberia, with millions of speakers. Kpelle is known for its rich oral traditions and is used in various cultural expressions, including storytelling and music.
Kpelle has several dialects, which can vary significantly between regions. The language employs a subject-verb-object sentence structure and features a tonal system, meaning that the pitch of a word can change its meaning.
