Bambara is spoken by 50.3% of the Malian population as their first language, mainly in central and southern Mali. It can be written using the Latin, N'Ko or Arabic alphabet; Latin and N’Ko are the scripts used most commonly in Mali. Many regions of the country are linguistically diverse. In the Ségou region, people speak up to seven different languages as their mother tongue. Literacy rates, averaging 35% nationwide in 2018, are markedly lower for women than for men, especially along the border with Senegal, and lower for people aged over 65 (26%). In the cercles (districts) of Kayes, Kéniéba and Bafoulabé, the literacy gap between men and women is as high as 21%.
