The Mende language, associated with the Mande language group, suggests their migration towards the north. Their oral traditions narrate a peaceful migration spanning roughly from 200 to 1500 A.D., hinting at multiple origins due to cultural and physical differences among the Mende. This diversity might stem from intermarriage with existing local groups or varied sources of immigration. Artistic practices connect them with the coastal Bullom peoples, indicating the Mende's adaptation and integration of beneficial ideas from Bullom society into their own cultural framework.
