Best Answer

Very many people speak English in Lesotho, as it is one of the two official languages of the country, the other being Sesotho.

English is in common use in the country, being the language of government, commerce, education and the judiciary. English is the language used to teach children in primary schools, from the ages of 9/10 , and then this continues on through secondary and tertiary education. In contrast, Sesotho is taught/available as a separate subject.

Although the mother tongue of Lesotho is Sesotho, English has become so widely adopted and incorporated into the language of the country that, it has been said,

"Listen to anybody in Lesotho speak Sesotho and you'll soon realise that everybody is speaking a mixture of English and Sesotho and Afrikaans."
