{{Short description|Group of Senegambian languages spoken in Senegal}} {{more footnotes|date=March 2013}} {{Infobox language family | name = Cangin | region = [[Senegal]], [[the Gambia]] | ethnicity = [[Serer people|Serer]] | familycolor = Niger-Congo | fam2 = [[Atlantic–Congo languages|Atlantic–Congo]] | fam3 = ([[Senegambian languages|Senegambian]]) | glotto = cang1245 | glottorefname = Cangin | child1 = [[Safen language|Saafi-Saafi]] | child2 = [[Laalaa language|Lehar]]–[[Noon language|Noon]] | child3 = Palor–Ndut | protoname = Proto-Cangin }} The '''Cangin''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|tʃ|ae|ŋ|I|n}}) languages are spoken by 200,000 people (as of 2007) in a small area east of [[Dakar]], [[Senegal]]. They are the languages spoken by the [[Serer people]] who do not speak the [[Serer language]] (''Serer-Sine''). Because the people are ethnically Serer, the Cangin languages are commonly thought to be dialects of the Serer language. However, they are not closely related; Serer is closer to [[Fula languages|Fulani]] than it is to Cangin.
