Ngoné Dièye

Lingeer Ngoné Dièye (Serer: Lingeer Ngoone Jaay, or Lingeer Ngoneh Jaay) was a Lingeer from the Serer Kingdom of Saloum, and ancestor of the Guedj (Wolof: Géej; Serer: Geej) maternal dynasty of Cayor and Baol.

Ngoné Dièye was a Wolof noble of the Dièye family of Baol, originating from Gandiole. She became Lingeer of Cayor and Baol when her son usurped the thrones and unified the two kingdoms. According to Cheikh Anta Diop, "The Guedj come from common people. They are distinguished by their adaptive ability and their military genius. The dynasty is named for the country of origin of the first founding Damel's mother. She was a commoner from the seacoast, who married the King; guedj meaning "sea" in Wolof. Her son, though he had no right to the throne, succeeded in being crowned, through his energy and mental agility."

For several centuries until the French conquest of Baol and Cayor, Lingeer Ngoné Dièye's descendants dominated the political scene of Cayor and Baol. She was the matriarch and direct maternal ancestor of all the Guedj kings of the two states during this period, including the Senegalese hero Lat Dior.
