Language and culture are inextricably interwoven. Effective use of or work with a language requires a good understanding of the culture that is associated with and expressed through that language.
SIL Senegal is affiliated with SIL International, a faith-based nonprofit organisation, aimed at serving language communities worldwide. Since 1984, SIL Senegal has assisted ethno-linguistic communities in Senegal to develop a series of ongoing, planned actions that ensure that their language continues to serve their changing social, cultural, political, economic and spiritual needs and goals.
