A '''Senegalese American''' is an American of Senegalese descent or a Senegalese who has American citizenship. In surveys of 2008, some 12,151 people claimed be of Senegalese descent in the United States. However, many African slaves exported to the United States were also Senegalese (together with other Africans that also came of their Senegalese ports), Senegal being one of the biggest contributor to the African American community in general. Thus many African Americans may also have some ancestors of this country.
