Aminata's language reflects both the time period and the wealth of her painfully gained wisdom. She tells her story using a sophisticated mixture of English, Fulbe, Bamankan, and other African languages. Her story is told predominately in English, with Fulbe, Bamankan, and Maninkan words sprinkled in, reflecting her experience as a slave in the colonies.
