'''Kiwolofu''' ni [[lugha]] iongewayo nchini [[Senegal]], [[Gambia]], na [[Mauritania]]. [[Lahaja]] za Kiwolofu zinaweza kufanana sana kati ya nchi hizo, zikiwa sambamba kabisa kitabia na hata kuongelewa kieneo. 

Lugha hiyo ipo kama lugha jirani ya [[Kifula]] inayohesabiwa kati ya [[lugha za Kisenegambia]]<ref>Torrence, Harold ''The Clause Structure of Wolof: Insights Into the Left Periphery'', John Benjamins Publishing, 2013, p. 20, {{ISBN|9789027255815}}  [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=QdsSxL0zsYEC&pg=PP20#v=onepage&q&f=false]</ref> ya familia ya [[Lugha za Kiniger-Kongo]].

Ni lugha hasa ya [[Wawolofu]], lakini nchini Senegal haizungumzwi na Wawolofu tu, bali hata Wasenegal wengine huzumgumza lugha hiyo; hivyo karibuni [[asilimia]] 40 ya wakazi wake huizungumza kama [[lugha mama]]. 

[[Idadi]] ya wasemaji kama lugha mama ni takriban [[milioni]] 3.2 na karibu idadi ileile hutumia Kiwolofu kama [[lugha ya pili]].

Kuna lahaja mbalimbali kama vile "Dakar-Wolof". [[Dakar]] ni [[mji]] wenye watu mchanganyiko, yaani kuna waongeaji wa Kiwolofu, [[Kifaransa]], [[Kiarabu]], na hata [[Kiingereza]] huzungumzwa kidogo katika mji huo ambao uko nchini Senegal; hivyo Kiwolofu chao ni cha mchanganyiko.

Maeneo mengine ya Kiwolofu ni kama vile:
*[[Loukala]]
*[[Saint-Louis (Senegal)|Saint Louis]]
*[[Casamanca]]
*[[Banjul]]
*[[Nouakchott]]
