Description[edit | edit source]
Eritrea is a multilingual country. The nation has no official language, as the Constitution establishes the "equality of all Eritrean languages". Tigrinya, Arabic, and English serve as de facto working languages, with English used in university education and many technical fields. [1]
Eritrea has many national languages:
In terms of writing systems, Eritrea's principal orthography is Ge'ez, Latin script and Arabic script. [2]
