What is Kenyas main language?

Kenya doesn't have one main language. It's a multilingual country with English as its official language. However, there are over 40 different indigenous languages spoken throughout the country, including:

* Kiswahili: The most widely spoken language in Kenya, often used in government and education. It's considered the national language.

* Kikuyu: The most spoken of the indigenous languages.

* Luhya: Another widely spoken language.

* Luo: Spoken by the Luo people in the western part of the country.

* Kamba: Spoken by the Kamba people in the southeastern part of the country.

The official language, English, is used in government, education, and business, while Kiswahili is commonly used in everyday communication and is also taught in schools. Many Kenyans are fluent in more than one language, making Kenya a rich linguistic tapestry.
