I say strange because if every citizen is expected to speak the official languages the task would be nearly impossible for most ordinary people. The education system must be perplexed as to what language/s to teach as no system could accomodate all!
Also the paperwork of writing the laws and communications in the country in all 16 languages must be impossible.
