Languages of Burundi
Burundi traditionally had two official languages, Kirundi and French. In 2015, a new law was adopted making English the third official language of the country.. By the same law on languages promulgated in 2014 Kiswahili is mentioned as a fourth language spoken and taught in the country. Of these, only Kirundi is spoken by the vast majority of the population. It is recognised as the national language by the Burundian constitution of 2005. French is spoken by a significant minority and is spoken mainly as a second language, as a French pidgin, or by foreign residents of the country.
