Jolof Empire
"Wolof" is the standard spelling and may also refer to the Wolof ethnicity or culture. Variants include the older French "Ouolof" and the principally Gambian "Wollof", "Jolof", "jollof", etc., which now typically refers either to the Jolof Empire or to jollof rice, a common West African rice dish. Now-archaic forms include "Volof" and "Olof".
