Dr. Fallou Ngom’s current research interests include the interactions between African languages and non-African languages, the Africanization of Islam, and Ajami literatures—records of West African languages written in Arabic script. He hopes to help train the first generation of American scholars to have direct access into the wealth of knowledge still buried in West African Ajami literatures, and the historical, cultural, and religious heritage that has found expression in this manner.Another area of Dr. Ngom’s work is language analysis in asylum cases, a sub-field of the new field of forensic linguistics. His work in this field addresses the intricacies of using knowledge of varied West African languages and dialects to evaluate the claims of migrants applying for asylum and determine if the person is actually from the country that he or she claims.Dr. Ngom’s work has appeared in the International Journal of the Sociology of Language, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, Language Variation and Change, and African Studies Review, among others. Areas of Interest: Interaction between African languages and non-African languages and Ajami literatures in West Africa Languages: French: written, spoken (fluent); English: written, spoken (fluent); Wolof: written, spoken (native); Mandinka: written, spoken (fluent); Pula(a)r: written, spoken (fluent); Arabic: written, spoken (conversational); Portuguese Creole: written, spoken (fluent) (Lingua franca in Guinea Bissau); Sereer: conversational; Jóola (Foñi): conversational; Spanish: conversational; Mankagne: conversational; Latin: good knowledge (reading and writing)
