Arabic is the official language, with French also widely used due to its colonial history.","link":"https:\/\/theglobalherald.com\/tag\/mauritania\/","name":"Mauritania","slug":"mauritania","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theglobalherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/332"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theglobalherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theglobalherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/theglobalherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
