Languages of Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is a multilingual country, with 25 languages.〔(Lewis, M. Paul, Gary F. Simons, and Charles D. Fennig (eds.). 2014. Ethnologue: Languages of the World, Seventeenth edition. Dallas, Texas: SIL International. (Page on "Sierra Leone.) )〕 English is the ''de facto'' official language, and Krio is the most widely spoken and is spoken in different countries.
Other major languages include Mende, which is spoken by 29.5% of the population as a mother tongue, and also as a lingua franca in southern Sierra Leone, and Temne, which is spoken by 24.7% as a mother tongue, and also as a lingua franca in northern Sierra Leone. Other languages include Kono, Kissi, Kuranko, Limba, Fula (Pular), and Susu.
Although English, as the official language, is spoken in schools, government administration, and the media, Krio is spoken as a lingua franca in virtually all parts of Sierra Leone. Krio, an English-based creole language, is the mother tongue of 10.5% of the population, but is spoken by 90% of Sierra Leoneans.
In December 2002, Sierra Leone’s then
President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah also named Bengali as an "official language" in recognition of the work of 5,300 troops from Bangladesh in the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone peacekeeping force.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bengali Made One of The Official Languages of Sierra Leone )〕
