English is spoken in many parts of Africa. It is an official language in Botswana, Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somaliland (a region in the north of Somalia), South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. That is not to say that it is the main language in these countries and all of the people there speak English. Other languages are official in those countries and lots of the people in them would not speak English at all.
