The official languages of South Africa are eleven, with English being one of them. The country embraces a multilingual approach, recognizing languages that reflect its diverse cultural heritage. In addition to English, other official languages include Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, isiNdebele, Sepedi, Setswana, seSotho, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga. This linguistic diversity highlights South Africa’s rich history and cultural mosaic. English serves as a common language for business, government, and education, but many people communicate in their native languages at home and in their communities. This policy promotes inclusivity and respects the country's diverse population.
