Portuguese in Mozambique
Mozambique is a
multilingual country. A number of Bantu languages are indigenous to Mozambique.
Portuguese, inherited from the colonial period, is the official language, and
Mozambique is a full member of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.
There are over 43 languages spoken in Mozambique.
Portuguese is the most
widely spoken language in Mozambique because the African country was under Portuguese rule until 1975 after 500 years of rule. The Portuguese language was imposed on
the indigenous African population during the colonial era.
Three large
populations clusters are found along the southern coast between Maputo and
Inhambane, in the central area between Beira and Chimoio along the Zambezi
River, and in and around the northern cities of Nampula, Cidade de Nacala, and
Pemba; the northwest and southwest are the least populated areas.
As with most African
countries, Mozambique has a major language diversity, with no one language
dominating demographically. Portuguese serves as a lingua franca allowing
communication of Mozambicans with fellow citizens of other ethnicities,
including especially white Mozambicans.
The standard
Mozambican Portuguese used in education, media, and legal documents is based on
European Portuguese vocabulary used in Lisbon, but Mozambican Portuguese
dialects differ from standard European Portuguese both in terms of
pronunciation and colloquial vocabulary.
Major languages and
percentage spoken in Mozambique are Emakhuwa 26.1%, Portuguese (official)
16.6%, Xichangana 8.6%, Cinyanja 8.1, Cisena 7.1%, Elomwe 7.1%, Echuwabo 4.7%,
Cindau 3.8%, Xitswa 3.8%, other Mozambican languages 11.8%, other 0.5%, and unspecified
1.8%.
