Which African Country Speaks The Best English? by Akpevwe9: 11:42pm On Feb 24, 2017 |
While I was browsing the net this evening with my itel S31, came across this and decided to share. Who speaks the best English in Africa? And the answer is Uganda. According to the world linguistic Agency, Uganda takes the cake for being the best English speaking African Nation. First off, the idea behind the best English speaking African nation ranking is in no way to slight any nation. Africa is a country of an entirely different culture from the west. So, it is understandable that some African countries are still not fluent in them. As a matter of fact not all the nations of the world fancy the English language. English language is the global/international language at the moment. Like we say, anything worth doing is worth doing well. There are 28 English speaking African nations. From these 28, the World Linguistic Agency made a list of those who speak the best of English language in Africa. Best English Speaking Countries In Africa: 1. Uganda 2. South Africa 3. Nigeria 4. Kenya 5. Zambia 6. Botswana 7. Zimbabwe 8. Malawi 9. Ghana 10. Rwanda 11. Sudan It is also worthy to mention that as some countries were not colonized by the British, their Lingua franca differs. It will be asking too much to expect fluency from them. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Now when you talk of spoken English, were phonetic sounds, diction and tones considered? Because I do not think South Africa beats Nigeria with the above. I dunno about Uganda though. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

This type of topic should be deleted by the moderators as its promoting slavery. English is not our language!!. It is a language forced down the throats of our ancestors when we were slaves, and as such, you shouldn't be proud speaking it. Some of you often ask; what were our ancestors doing to have been enslaved? What they were doing is the same thing you're doing today when you promote English language or feel proud speaking it. Our native languages are now in a sorry state, some under threat of extinction, while we're busy fooling around promoting English. I regret to have learned to speak English in school. I wish I invested all that time studying Igbo language and one other Nigerian language, like Yoruba or Hausa. If I could go back to school I'll invest my time studying our native languages. 80 Likes 10 Shares |

So Ghana with all their American English swag no even carry first. They no go let person hear word with their fake accent , for example : As for Nigeria, na only God fit reason our matter. Pidgin has ruined our future. When you even listen to people like PEJ and Buhari, you'd appreciate how hopeless our situation is. 32 Likes |
