According to "CIA World Factbook: Senegal" (2019 estimates), the ethnic groups are Wolof (39%); Fula (probably including the Halpulaar speaking Toucouleur) (27.5%)); Serer group (probably including the Serer Cangin peoples (16%)); Mandinka (4.9%); Jola (4.2%); Soninke (2.4%); other 5.4% (includes Europeans and persons of Lebanese descent), and other minor ethnic groups like the Bassari, Maures or (Naarkajors)).

According to one 2005 estimate, there are at least twenty distinguishable groups of largely varying size.

[2] A few Bassari and Bedick live in the hills in eastern Senegal around Kédougou.

Europeans and descendants of Lebanese migrants are fairly numerous in urban centres in Senegal, about 50,000.

[17] There are also many other smaller representations of other ethnic groups in Senegal, including the Khassonké, the Lawbe and the Papel.
