Name
Just wondering, how many sources actually call this "Senegambian"? Merrill (2018) mentions "Senegambian" as an alternative name only for the northern ('non-Bak') Northern Atlantic languages. Güldemann (2018) calls this solid group ""core" Atlantic", Glottolog "North-Central Atlantic" (although Hammarström includes Naluic, unlike Güldemann). Personally, I really have no idea for an apt name here, given the current terminologcal volatility. –Austronesier (talk) 10:18, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't know. I mostly see 'Atlantic', but that's awfully ambiguous. (Besides being insipid. There are lots of languages spoken near the Atlantic.) I don't know an apt name either, if 'Senegambian' shouldn't include Bak. — kwami (talk) 12:11, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I just saw this OUP source. Do you have OUP access? But it does not really add more info than we already have from Segerer. And btw, there is a forthcoming volume The Oxford Guide to the Atlantic Languages of West Africa which I expect to be very interesting, and might help us later with out terminology. –Austronesier (talk) 17:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I might be able to get them (I'll check), but I don't have automatic access. — kwami (talk) 06:06, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
