Comment:
Hassaniyya (mey-mey) = 3 (Wider communication). Statutory language of national identity (1991, Constitution, Article 6). Hassaniya comes from the name of the Beni Hassan tribes who invaded North Africa and settled in modern Mauritania in the 15th to 17th centuries. Used in trade and religion. Spoken throughout northwestern Africa.
