How many Languages does Sadio Mane speak?

The reason Sadio Mane is so skilled with languages is because he has traveled and witnessed multiple cultures over his life.

The truth is that he was already speaking many languages even before he left his native country of Senegal due to the fact there are over 30 languages spoken in Senegal.

Does Sadio Mane speak French?

Sadio Mane spoke French from his early age because French is the official language of Senegal as it is the case for several West African Counties who were colonized by France before their independences in early 1960’s.

As a result, when soccer headhunters noticed him in Mbour in 2009 (city in West Senegal about 2 hours from the capital Dakar), they knew that his French skills would help his integration with a French Club.

He joined Metz in the Northeast of France in 2011 and stayed there for one season because the Club was relegated to a lower division at the end of the season.

Does Sadio Mane Speak English?

Sadio Mane lived in England from 2013 to 2021 first with Southampton from his transfer from Austria Club Red Bull Salzburg, then with the Reds in Liverpool, UK.

During his tenure at Liverpool, he had a German coach for the last 3 years while most of his teammates were foreigners with the like of Salah or Brazilian Roberto Firmino.

Therefore, English was definitely the common language on the training grounds for Sadio Mane and his colleagues.

We know that Wolof language is the most common first language in Senegal.

His first language is the language spoken in that part border region which is Mandinka.

He has given interviews on National Senegalese Television while speaking this language to show how much he still values his roots.
