It is reported that in the 16th century when the Portuguese visited the country s coast, the fishermen said sunu gaal, which translates into these are our boats. The Portuguese, who understood nothing, simply named the land Senegal. The official language of Senegal is French. There are native languages like Wolof, Soninke and Mandinka. European powers that engulfed much of Senegal s history are the French, Portuguese and the British. Senegal s location towards the west coast made it a hub for the international slave trade of the 18th and 19th century. Gorée Island, in particular, became a major transit point of the Atlantic Slave Trade. The House of Slaves and its iconic Door of No Return is a melancholic reminder of Senegal s tryst with the slave trade history. Senegal is the only country in West Africa which wasn t overrun by a military coup. Its democratic stability has earned it many allies in Europe and the Americas. Senegal s national flag bears three colors; red, yellow and green. They are the official Pan-African colors and a star at the middle represents universal unity. Griots are the traditional storytellers, singers, poets, musicians, and oral historians. They have been known for their oratory skills and lyrical mastery. Rap artist, Akon was born and raised in Senegal. The official language of Senegal is French. There are native languages like Wolof, Soninke and Mandinka.
