Zongo settlements

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Zongo_settlements an entity of type: Settlement

Zongo settlements are areas in West African towns populated mostly by migrants from the northern savannah regions and the West African Sahel, especially from northern Nigeria. Common features of the zongo communities are their use of Hausa language as lingua franca and their shared religion: Islam. The designation of these wards of migrants as zongos derives from the Hausa word zango which literally means "a camping place for trading caravans". As the name reveals, zongos were originally founded as ports of trade in the long-distance trading networks that connected the West African subregion. rdf:langString
