What if the most widely spoken language of Nigeria?
English is easily the most widely spoken language in Nigeria, it is our official language.English in Nigeria comes in the both the official and street versions, for example:OFFICIAL: while at a function in London, the Nigerian President said that Nigerian youths are lazy, uneducated and unwilling to work.STREET: Na so Naija Presido waka go obodo Oyibo go dey run him mouth say awa youths dem ehn; book dem gree read, work dem no gree do, na agbero life dem dey live.The difference is clear. Trust me the street version is more fun as it allows you more room to creatively express yourself.For our local language, the most widely spoken language primarily depends on the part of the country you are answering the question from. I am hausa, living in Lagos, working both in the office and on the field. In the office it is the official english, with friends it's the street version, outside the office yoruba is widely spoken alongsie the street/broken english. If I were to be in any of the Norther or. Eastern parts of the country, the exact same language interchange will play out-but the yoruba will be replaced by any of hausa or igbo languages. The same applies to all other parts of the country.People reading this will now wonder why we easily quarrel if we seem to have our standard homemade version of english for easier communication. The answer is very simple-we are all talking, but we are not just listening. We want to be heard and we don't want to hear people out. Very bad mix.

What is the most common language spoken in Lesotho?
The most common language spoken in Lesotho is Sesotho, which is closely linked to Setswana and a few other N̶g̶u̶n̶i̶ Niger-Congo (thanks to Steve Hayes for pointing out that error) languages. The official languages of the country are Sesotho and English, so there’s quite a bit of Sesonglish too, especially among the youth of the country.Most of the state apparatus is run in English, as well as schools (I remember when I was a kid many years ago that we got punished for speaking Sesotho instead of English) and most of the media.Once you leave the big towns, though, the most commonly spoken language is still Sesotho proper, though, unfortunately, with a smattering of English words. I think we need a sort of academy in the country, a committee made up of a dozen or so intellectuals, language experts and a few elders, whose job would be to police the language.I’m not suggesting grammar nazis, but a way of trying to hang onto our language for a while longer. You see, there’s this rampant thought that the better one expresses themselves in English, the better they are. That has to go.
