Language demographicsThe most widely spoken languages used in households are Oshiwambo dialects, by 49% of the population, the Nama/Damara language by 11%, Afrikaans by 10%, Kavango language by 9% and Herero by 9%[3]. Other native languages include the Bantu languages Tswana, Gciriku, Fwe, Kuhane, Mbukushu, Yeyi; and the Khoisan Naro, ǃXóõ, Kung-Ekoka, ǂKxʼauǁʼein and Kxoe.[4] English, the official language, is spoken by 3% of people as their native language. Portuguese was spoken by 4–5% of the total population, i.e. 100,000 people, made up mostly of the Angolan community in 2014.[5] The number of Angolans in Namibia declined from 2014 to 2015. The economic crisis in the neighbouring country affected the numbers[6]. Among the white population, 60% speak Afrikaans, 32% German, 7% English, and 1% Portuguese. Indigenous languages are included in the school syllabus at primary level. From secondary level English is the medium of instruction. Afrikaans is the only language that comes close to a lingua franca, and is spoken by most black townspeople together with English and their native language.[7] Languages most often spoken in Namibian households
