The ISO 639-1 code for Fula appears to be "ff",
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fula_language

Ibraahiima, there appears not to exist a keyboard layout for Fula in Xorg,
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/symbols/ 

See this report on some work on adding keyboard layouts for several African countries,
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2693

Creating a keyboard layout is not very difficult; is there a description of the keyboard layout that you have already created for Windows? (that is, what key produces which character).
