What percent of people speak french in Senegal?

While French is an official language in Senegal, it is not the most spoken language.

Here's a breakdown:

* Wolof: Spoken by approximately 80% of the population, making it the dominant language.

* French: Spoken by a significant minority, likely around 20-30% of the population.

* Other languages: The remaining percentage of the population speaks other languages such as Pulaar, Serer, and Mandinka.

It's important to note that:

* The use of French varies depending on factors like education level, urban vs. rural areas, and socioeconomic status.

* While French is used in government, education, and business, Wolof is the primary language of daily life for most Senegalese people.

Therefore, it is difficult to provide a precise percentage for French speakers in Senegal. It's estimated to be around 20-30%, but Wolof remains the most spoken language.
