What are the main languages spoken in Rwanda? The main official languages spoken throughout the country are Kinyarwanda, French and English. Swahili is another language that international students will come across quite a lot when they are staying in Rwanda.
While there are other dialects spoken throughout the country, the three mentioned above are the most common languages that are reported.
International students could learn a lot when they learn Kinyarwanda or Swahili since both are incredibly influential within the region. Also, foreign students will be able to take more programs and classes if they are slightly fluent in one of these languages, which opens more doors to opportunities and scholarship options.
