==Languages== The Cangin languages are: {{clade |1={{clade |1= [[Safen language|Safen]], or ''Saafi-Saafi'', the language of the [[Saafi people]]. Spoken inland from the Petite Côte, an area southeast of Dakar. The largest Cangin language, with over 100,000 speakers and growing (2007). |2={{clade |1=[[Laalaa language|Lehar]] (Laalaa), the language of the [[Serer-Laalaa]] (or Serer-Lehar), spoken in a small area north of [[Thiès]]. |2=[[Noon language|Noon]], the language of the [[Serer-Noon]], spoken around [[Thiès]]. }} }} |2={{clade |1=[[Palor language|Palor]], the language of the [[Palor people]], spoken in a small area between [[Rufisque]] and [[Thiès|Thies]]. |2=[[Ndut language|Ndut]], the language of the [[Serer-Ndut people]], spoken in the Mont-Roland, an area northwest of [[Thiès|Thies]] and in the [[Biffeche|Kingdom of Biffeche]] on the [[Senegal River]]. }} }} Lehar and Noon are particularly close, as are Ndut and Palor, though not quite to the point of easy intelligibility. Safen is transparently closer to Lehar–Noon than to Palor–Ndut.
