"Serer language was very similar to the languages spoken by the Wolof, Fulbe, Toucouleur, and Mandinka peoples. The customs and institutions of the five were also very much alike, although a commitment to pastoral life was unique to the Fulbe, and the practice of matrilineal inheritance was found only among the Serer."
