What languages are spoken in Gaborone?

The official language of Botswana, and therefore Gaborone, is English. However, the most widely spoken language in Gaborone is Setswana, a Bantu language.

While English is used in government, education, and business, Setswana is spoken by the majority of the population in everyday life. You'll also find other languages spoken in the city, including:

* Kalanga

* Ndebele
