Some children in South Africa grow up learning six different languages


Only Klingon is missing. Some children in South Africa grow up learning six different languages

This picture was taken in South Africa, and it shows an ATM cash machine offering eight quite exotic (for the rest of the world) languages.

Apparently South Africa has 11 'official' languages - so three of them are probably missing!

Some children in South Africa grow up learning six different languages: Mom's tribal, Dad's tribal, Neighborhood tribal, Predominant tribal, Afrikaans and English. Almost everyone in South Africa can speak at least two languages.

French is not spoken in South Africa at all, being spoken in West Africa, not South Africa.

The photo is of a South African ABSA ATM.
