The Cangin languages are spoken by 200,000 people in a small area east of Dakar, Senegal, by Serer people who do not speak the Serer language proper. Because their speakers are ethnically Serer, the Cangin languages are commonly thought to be dialects of Serer, but they are not closely related; Serer itself is closer to Fulani than it is to Cangin.
