Zambia's official language is ''English'', used in business and in education. However, ''Nyanja'' and ''Bemba'' are the main local languages. In the Copperbelt, the main language is ''Bemba'', followed by ''Nyanja''. The reverse is true in Lusaka, where ''Nyanja'' is the main local language, followed by ''Bemba''. These languages are common in urban areas, which feature additional local languages as well: ''Lozi'', ''Tonga'', ''Kaonde'', ''Luvale'', and ''Lunda''. Zambia's total number of languages spoken is 73.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Zambia," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zambia#Languages, accessed 19 September 2018.</ref> | Zambia's official language is ''English'', used in business and in education.
