>>>btw, Government in SA is not primarily Afrikaans anymore. Thats was the old national party of the apartheid days - over 10 years ago :) This is the "New SA" with 9 official langauges!! :) But English is spoken by everyone. And your point is valid and taken.

>>9 official languages - what a confusion. IMO there should be a single official language world-wide, and then everyone should feel free to talk their regional languages at home, or even at school.

>>What are the
main languages spoken in RSA?

>English, Sotho (pronounced sue-two), Zulu, and Afrikaans. English by basically everyone. Sotho and Zulu are the two largest black African langauges.
English by basically everyone is sure an advantage. Here, Spanish is the main language, but we have millions of people who don't speak it - who only learned their respective native languages. This is changing gradually, though.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
