Kenya : Languages
Kenya’s official languages are English and Swahili; both are widely used for communication between members of different ethnic groups. Nearly all of the African ethnic groups in Kenya also have their own languages, making for considerable linguistic variety within the nation. Many Kenyans thus speak three languages: the language of their particular ethnic group, Swahili, and English.About 70 % of Kenya’s population is Christian, with Protestants outnumbering Roman Catholics.Muslims make up about 6 % of the population. The remainder of Kenya’s people are mainly followers of orthodox African religions. There are also a small number of Hindus and Sikhs.
