Kenya is a multilingual country. The two official languages of Kenya, Swahili and English, are widely spoken as lingua francas; however, including second-language speakers, Swahili is more widely spoken than English. [1] Swahili is a Bantu language native to East Africa and English is inherited from British colonial rule.
The official languages of Kenya are English and Swahili, with the latter also recognised as the national language. [2] [3] While English is not used as commonly as other native languages in Kenya, it is the primary language spoken in areas such as media, government and schools. [4]
