discover the wolof culture
Wolof is a major language of West Africa, spoken mainly in Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania. The national language of Senegal, it is widely used as a lingua franca, allowing communication between the country's different ethnic communities. Although not official internationally, its cultural influence extends beyond borders thanks to the richness of Senegalese music, literature and cinema, which often use Wolof as a language of expression.
The oral tradition in Wolof is particularly lively, carried by the griots, custodians of history and ancestral knowledge. Today, Wolof is also present in the media, local publications and digital content, testifying to its adaptation to modernity. Learning it opens the door to a deep immersion in Senegalese culture and facilitates the understanding of the social and historical dynamics of the region.
