Gambians
Banjul's fellow citizens
Gambians are people from The Gambia, a small West African nation surrounded almost entirely by Senegal.
The word functions as both noun and adjective: Gambians voted in record numbers, Gambian peanut farmers.
The Gambia is distinctive for its "The"—one of few countries with an article as part of its official name.
