Celebrates the Wolof language, which is spoken as a first language by about 40 percent of Senegalese and understood by over 80 percent. Wolof is the lingua franca of Senegal, and its influence extends far beyond the country's borders through the global popularity of Senegalese music and cinema. The day features poetry readings, storytelling, and debates about the role of Wolof in education and governance. Many Senegalese are pushing for Wolof to replace French as the language of instruction in schools.
