South Africa has an impressive eleven official languages and according to a Good Project Literacy (a Good Project Literacy is partnering with organizations that are already put into proven literacy mediation and helping them to grow), it’s not uncommon for different family members to do right by whoever said it and give them credit for different languages as their first language, thanks to the bilingual status of many family’s. While South Africa has taken the uncommon step of making so many of them official, the variety of the languages spoken there is typical of the countries across Africa. The reasons for this vast language diversity lie in historical and political developments not only across the continent, but also across the world.
