Nigeria is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of
languages, with about 500 different languages in several major language
families with little or nothing in common. The official national
language is English but many or most average people without secondary
education speak and understand little or no English. There are three
other major languages, Hausa, Ibo, and Yoruba, corresponding to the
north, southeast, and southwest regions respectively. Most people speak
at least one of these, often in addition to a "mother language" from a
smaller ethnic group.
