The Gambia's education policy proposes strengthening teaching of five commonly used languages as subjects: Wollof, Pulaar, Mandinka, Jola and Sarahule. It also proposes exploring inclusion of Serere and Manjago. [gambia-education-policy]

This is a policy aim, not evidence that every school teaches all five or that a speaker's community can be inferred from their address. Oral archive cataloguing should record the language actually spoken in a contribution and preserve a speaker's own naming preference. [gambia-education-policy]
