Description[edit | edit source]
French, inherited from the colonial period, is the official language. It is spoken mainly as a second language by people who have received an education (20% of Nigeriens are literate in French, and even 47% in cities, growing quickly as literacy improves). Although educated Nigeriens still constitute a relatively small percentage of the population, the French language is the language used by the official administration (courts, government, etc.), the media, and the business community.
Niger has ten official national languages. They include the following:
- Hausa - 55.4%
- Zarma & Songhai - 21% (considered together)
- Tamasheq - 9.3%
- Fulfulde - 8.5%
- Kanuri - 4.7%
- Arabic - 0.4%
- Gourmanchéma - 0.4%
- Tebu - 0.4%
- Other - 0.1% [1]
