Overview

While the Wollof word for "flag" is confirmedly "raaya", our website on this page included instead, for more than 10 years, the spurious word *"flák", referenced to the Wolof Wikipedia. Indeed this word was used thereon, but as a typo (likely due to wholesale copy of template code from another language version of Wikipedia), and it was promptly corrected to read "raaya" back in 2007.
