 David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies
It was in Pulaar, our native language, that we spoke to each other, not yet knowing how to speak French—the study of which wouldn't start until a year later.
French is a language of use, practical, utilitarian, functional—a tool giving access to the modern world, whereas Pulaar is a language of life, a reflection of the Halpulaar peoples' human condition of today and yesterday, the most irreducible means of expressing one's cultural identity.
What has been suggested concerning the respective vocations of Pulaar and of French could also be said with as much truth of other Senegalese people (and Africans in general) and their perception of the relationship that exists between their dialect and that of the Europeans.

And in Pulaar, where so many teachers have never studied in French, this means that they have almost never seen or read a real text on any subject, in any quantity, of any quality, for any reason.

 YWAM Sahara - Toucouleur (Pulaar)
Stretching from Senegal to Nigeria, 26 million Fula people speak 41 dialects of Pulaar such as Fuladou, Futa Toro, Fulacounda and Fulfuta etc. These speakers of Pulaar, or Haalpulaaren as they call themselves, are by and large Muslims and have been for centuries.
Traditionally sedentary farmers in a close-knit society, these "Speakers of Pulaar", or "Haalpular'en" as the Toucouleur like to call themselves, were possibly the first Black Africans to convert to Islam in the 11th century.
Since then quite a few Toucouleur and Pulaar have been living with other refugees in encampments on the bank of the Senegal River on the Senegalese side.

 USAID Telling Our Story: Senegal - Forest Management Restores a Cultural Symbol
For the Pulaar ethnic group of Senegal, “kosam” — curdled milk — is a dietary staple and a cherished symbol of health, purity, and prosperity.
Eaten daily with millet and used in traditional rituals, kosam was once a part of Pulaar society year-round, particularly in Saré Bidji and Ndorna which is located in the southern region of Kolda, Senegal near some of the country’s remaining forest lands.
In early 2001, however, no one in the area could remember the last time their cows had produced milk beyond the six-month rainy season.
