Yes.... the official language of this country is English. The Gambia was a British colony state and gained independence on February 18 1965. She's counted among the smallest countries in Africa. Is being surrounded almost all sides by Senegal except the side of the Atlantic ocean. It is known to be " the smiling coast of Africa"... To be frank enough, what I've read from this articles is quite true to my knowledge. The people of The Gambia are all peaceful.... |

I imagine that the English influences are felt even today, isn't it so? What about the local traditions how did they survive? |

Hey Pablo
Well you're right that the English influences is felt in here. Most Gambians in the past are known to be illiterates.. But then, changes has arise in Nation wide now a days that English is spoken frequently by every individual. Before, most people rely on local languages but civilization has occurred and the rate of illiteracy is paving away. |

Well I do support the idea of your daughter in heading a trip to " the smiling coast of Africa" The Gambia... Counted among the most peaceful countries in Africa... and offcource one of the tiniest in Africa.... The tourist industry is getting wider ever since... The question of weather it is safe or not to travel to Gambia comes to many when deciding to come to Gambia...
To my knowledge as a Gambian, the majority of tourist who comes to Gambia always enjoy their visit and makes immediate plans for a return... It is advice for a first time visitor to arrange accommodations on hotels rather than motels or lodges... Western food is available in hotels and both restaurants along side the tourism area.... There are certain disease here in Gambia which a visitor should take great consideration... It is recommended for a tourist to take vaccination before coming here and if possible, come along with some medicine...
But after all, is a home of tourism where every one is smiling.... |

The official language in The Gambia is English and is widely spoken nation wide... Wolof is one of the local languages that is dominating within the greater Banjul area. It is spoken almost by every individual residing in the Greater Banjul Area... But the dominating local language country wide is Mandinka. |

The majority of Gambians are Muslim in religion. The percentage of Christian is quite very small but every Christian has the right to celebrate and event here in Gambia when due. The Christmas celebration used to be massive here in Gambia despite the low percentage of Christianity and moreover, at the tourist industries area.. where the scramble of fire woks occur.... |
