Zimbabwe: World's Most Official Languages?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 янв 2023
- Zimbabwe was actually the country with the world’s highest number of official languages at a national level and even held the Guinness World Record to show.
Today, that title and bragging rights belong to Bolivia which had more official languages than Zimbabwe but only on a regional level.
So, Bolivia either for political purposes or to encourage a sense of national pride decided to upgrade all its 37 regional languages to national level and ousted Zimbabwe from the top spot.

Informative. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting! Thanks for making this video!! Good job!
Glad you liked it! Many thanks
This is very informative. Thank you for showing difference between official and recognized languages. Some people did not understand the difference. And you are right with zimbabwe and india difference. zimbabwe indigenous languages official nationally and india indigenous languages officially provincally
Glad it helped! Many thanks, cheers!
I‘m from Germany. German is the official language of the state, however the individual union states can decide their own official languages. Schleswig-Holstein recognises Danish, Lower German and the indigenous Germanic language of North Frisian.
While Brandenburg and my home state of Saxony also recognise the indigenous Westslavic language of Sorbian.
Many thanks for the details @DiskusGames Glad to learn
Really, didn't know that, they way they are strict with German, i had no idea any other language was accepted
hach hier, dacht ich grad drüber nach. 500 sprachen in einem land, kligt komisch.
aber du redest hier fast scho von akcenten, ich glaub fast das ist so, dass sind 500 sprachen. von deutschen linguisten bestätigt.
is schwer vorstellbar o:O
@@moniho6907 Well, as far as I know, the government doesn’t even enforce German as an official language onto the union states. Although they do all use it as such for obvious reasons
@@MrDaeniboy Naja, ich würde Plattdeutsch auch nicht unbedingt als eigene Sprache bezeichnen. Aber so wird’s halt in SH gerne gesehen. Dänisch, Nordfriesisch und Sorbisch sind allerdings definitiv eigene Sprachen
I'm from South Africa where we have 11 official languages. Our government has over the years planned to include sign language, but nothing thus far has been implemented in that regard. My home language is Setswana which is viewd as the fourth most spoken after IsiZulu, IsiXhosa and Sesotho.
Finally it's happening.
Ohh welcome back
Many thanks @edison! It feels great to be back
Interesting, interesting, interesting!
Much appreciated @johnnybravo
Make a video on the oldest languages of Africa
Where exactly are you from anyway?
I'm gonna throw a rough guess, and say Africa
Kenya. It's on his RUclips profile
In Portugal there are 2 oficial languages.
Jamaica official language is English, national language patios
Congo / Swahili, Lingala and French
Glad to hear @christossimos
Spain has 4 national languages : euskera, galego, catalán and castilian...
Zimbabwe has more official than Bolivia because Shona is not a language but a group of 20 languages ...Karanga ,korekore ,zezuru , kalanga, manyika, chishangwe, ndau, chidanda, and may others they are all official and they are all different languages
Languages for my places:
Texas - no official language, but English and Spanish are most common
Mexico - no official but Spanish is de facto national language
Ireland - Irish and English
Poland - Polish
USA - no official language, but common languages are English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, French and French Creole, Arabic, Korean, Russian and Alaskan Russian, German and Amish German, Hawaiian, Navajo, Cherokee, and a ton others
South Carolina - English
DC - no official language, de facto are English, Amharic, and Spanish
Sakartvelo - Georgian, Abkhaz
Fiji - Fijian, English, Fiji Hindi, Rotuman
Qatar - Arabic (tho English is very common)
Germany - German
Florida - English, tho over half the population knows Spanish to some degree and 1/3 know speak a non English language at home
Also, side note, but a video about DC Ethiopian Diaspora would be very interesting! Like half my friends when I lived there were Ethiopian Americans!
Yah this is true but in all honesty shona dominates Zimbabwe. always will, always has 1500yrs in counting
Good to know @theblackgods
Yes but now they are offered at O levl Alevel and university too so well done to Zim which is a huge step towards preservation of language and culture
Kenya, English is the only official language!! Excellent video
Wow, thank you!
Even swahili
No in the new constitution it's both English and Kiswahili
From Kenya. The national languages are English and Kishwahili.
Swahili should come first, not a colonial language
Many thanks @jogindercharms
So true🙂
I’m from Brazil, Brizilianese is the only official language
