The constitution of the Republic of Senegal dated January 7 2001 states in its 1rst article that French shall be the official language. The national languages shall be Diolo, Malinke, Poular, Serer, Soninke and Wolof and any other national language which has been codified.
The first to impose French as the official language in Senegal was President Leopold Sedar Senghor alongside to six national languages among the 19 spoken in this country. It was in the 1960's. His example was followed by Niger and Tunisia.
Nowadays French remains a foreign language spoken by 25 to 30 % of the men and 11 to 12 % of the women.
