Please modify the centers of population to include the following...

Add Kounte - Kounte is a major center of the Lele population and is very unreached.  Also, I would be tempted to add Seredou to the Southwest of Kassadou...it is a very large village of perhaps 2000 people...most are Lele....I think it may get lumped in as Kissi territory in many maps...including Joshua Project.

There is also a very significant Lele population in the city of Kissidougou...very likely numbering between 500 and 1000...but this needs to be further analyzed.

I work with the Lele in Guinea in the villlage of Tangolto.

By the way, the name of Tangolto is spelled wrong in the Ethnologue...please correct it.  NOT Tangalto!  This is old data from Greg Pruett.  It should be "Tangolto".

Thanks.
