Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The official language of Liberia is English, in which many of the records from the period of British colonization have been kept. Liberia is a multilingual country where more than thirty languages are spoken. English is the official language and over 20 indigenous languages are spoken, representing the numerous ethnic groups who make up more than 95% of the population. None of the other language groups forms a distinctive majority. The native languages can be grouped in four language families: Mande, Kru, Mel, and the divergent language Gola.[1]
Since Liberia’s official founding in 1824, English has maintained its status as the most prominent language in the country. English serves as the official Liberian language, and an estimated 3 million people speak the form of pidgin English known as Liberian Kreyol language or Liberian Pidgin English.
