Final answer:
The kingdom of Ghana arose from the Soninke people.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Kingdom of Ghana existed from approximately 750 C.E. to 1076 C.E. in modern day southeastern Mauritania, Western Mali, and Eastern Senegal. The kingdom of Ghana was known as Wagadou in the native Sonicke language of the region, a word that combines the word dou ( land) and the word waga (herd). The term the Kingdom of Ghana, or sometimes the Empire of Ghana, came about in Europe and Arabia as a way to identify the region. Ghana is a traditional honorific title of leaders in Wagadou, thus the term Ghana Empire relates to the title of the emperor not a geographic area.
The kingdom of Ghana arose from the Soninke people. The Soninke people referred to their kingdom as Wagadu, which was also known as Ghana to outsiders. The kingdom of Ghana was inhabited by the Soninke people, and it dominated the region between western Mali and southeastern Mauritania from the sixth to the thirteenth centuries.
