What languages are spoken in Zambia?
- 9 answers
The main language in Zambia is English. The main African languages are Bemba, Tonga and Nyanja, although many others are spoken locally, depending on where the people come from. Many of the people living there now have come from other areas around Zambia. When I lived there the common languages on the Copperbelt were Bemba and Xhosa, ( there were many Zulu workers.) In the far north Swahili was more common. Along the southern border, Mashona is very common.
Answer
English is the official language of Zambia, so its government, business, and education dealings are all communicated in English.
