Pensando na nossa amiguinha desaparecida....

Aqui vai um informação retirada da wikipedia:


"South Africa has 11 official languages. South Africa also recognises eight non-official languages as "national languages". Of the official languages, two are Indo-European languagesEnglish and Afrikaans — while the other nine are languages of the Bantu family (within Africa's largest phylum, Niger-Congo).

The eleven official languages of South Africa are as follows (with the name used for each language, by speakers of that language, in brackets):
Afrikaans (Afrikaans), English, Ndebele (isiNdebele), Northern Sotho (Sesotho sa Leboa), Sotho (Sesotho), Swati (siSwati), Tsonga (Xitsonga), Tswana (Setswana), Venda (Tshivenḓa), Xhosa (isiXhosa), Zulu (isiZulu).
The most common language spoken at home by South Africans is Zulu (24 percent speak Zulu at home), followed by Xhosa (18 percent), and Afrikaans (13 percent). English is only the sixth-most common home language in the country, but is understood in most urban areas and is the dominant language in government and the media.


Non- official languages:Fanagalo, Khoe, Lobedu (Khilobedu), Nama, Northern Ndebele (Sindebele), Phuthi (Siphuthi), San (Khoisan/Khoesan) languages, sign language and Tamil (less spoken).
