The Jola (Diola in French transliteration) are an ethnic group found in Senegal (where they predominate in the region of Casamance) the Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. There are great numbers on the Atlantic coast between the southern banks of the Gambia River the Casamance region of Senegal and the northern part of Guinea-Bissau. The Jola are believed to have preceded the Mande and Fula peoples in the riverine coast of Senegambia and may have migrated into Casamance before the 13th century.
