Proto Mande rather than Mande edit

Aligns as well with the actual source quoted (PhD thesis: A NEW RECORDING OF MAURITANIAN ROCK ART by Hamdi Abbas Ahmed Abd-El-Moniem) which carefully uses the term (for same period) "proto-Berber" rather than Berber, which shows proper caution in not pushing back historical terms ahistorically. Proto-Mande in keeping both with citation (subsequent Mande populations), prudence as to linguistic time depth and in keeping with broad usage from the source. 105.154.7.216 (talk) 10:09, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
