Does poeple talk spanish in kenya?

NO. The most commonly spoken languages in Kenya are English and Swahili, along with more local African languages. The Spanish never had any major outposts in eastern Africa or the Indian Ocean, so there is no push in Kenya for people to learn Spanish.

How many people in the world speak Swahili?

This contributor estimates 150 million, divided as follows: Tanzania and Kenya 90 million , D.R.C. 25,000, Rwanda and Burundi 10 million, elsewhere 8 million. The estimate is based on current population estimates found in Wikipedia and statoids.com (for Congo), joined by the contributor's 45 years of living and traveling in the Swahili areas. Wikipedia has a helpful linguistic map of the Congo. Swahili is the national language of Kenya (with English) and Tanzania and is used in government, school,s mass-communication media, the armed services, entertainment media, etc. A fairly small percentage of people speak it as a first language (probably 20 per cent and growing), children learning it from friends and at school. The estimate here is that about half of the people of Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi speak Swahili. It is the first language of almost everyone in eastern Congo, from Lubumbashai in the south to Lake Kivu in the north. This is a result of the profound effects of the slave trade in which the language was brought by Swahilis and Arabs from the Indian Ocean coast. Their culture and language largely displaced local ones, and the number and percentage of people whose first language is Swahili is probably higher than in either Tanzania or Kenya.
