Which country has the most official languages?

South Africa holds the record for the country with the most official languages, currently recognizing 11 languages as official. The official languages of South Africa are Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga.

The Constitution of South Africa recognizes all 11 languages as having official status, which means that they can be used for official purposes such as in the courts, government, and public broadcasting. The promotion and preservation of all official languages is also enshrined in the Constitution.

South Africa's language diversity reflects the country's history and cultural heritage. The Bantu migration, colonialism, and the apartheid era have all played a role in shaping the linguistic landscape of the country. The recognition of 11 official languages is a testament to South Africa's commitment to celebrating its diverse cultural and linguistic heritage.

Bolivia has the most official languages, with 37. These include Spanish and 36 other indigenous languages, of which some are extinct. The constitution of Bolivia was amended in 2009 to recognize the country's linguistic diversity. The official languages are used in government, education, and the media.
