Answers: 1.
Pincez tous vos koras, frappez les balafons.
Le lion a rugi.
Le dompteur de la brousse
D'un bond s'est élancé
Dissipant les ténèbres.
Soleil sur nos terreurs, soleil sur notre espoir.
Debout, frères, voici l'Afrique rassemblée
fibres de mon coeur vert.
Épaule contre épaule, mes plus que frères,
O Sénégalais, debout !
Unissons la mer et les sources, unissons la steppe et la forêt !
Salut Afrique mère, salut Afrique mère.

2.Official languages: Balanta-Ganja, Hassaniyya, Jola-Fonyi, Mandinka, Mandjak, Mankanya, Noon, Pulaar, Serer-Sine, Soninke, Wolof, French. Wolof= most widely spoken. French= Official language.
