There are thousands of different dialects of thousands of different languages spoken in Africa. Many have no connection to each other. In addition to these minor African Languages, Arabic and Berber are spoken in North Africa, French in many parts of West Africa, Northern Africa, Central Africa, and on Madagascar. English is spoken in Southern Africa and Sierra Leone, and is used as the Lingua Franca in much of Africa. Portuguese is spoken in parts of Angola and Mozambique, and Swahili is spoken all over Eastern Africa.

These languages allowed them to connect with a broad range of people, spreading Jesus' teachings across different cultures and communities.


What Languages did Joseph and Mary speak?

Because of the place they first were living, in Nazareth, they spoke Koine Greek, which was the language of the Government. They had to speak Hebrew to be able to go to the temple for worship, or to read the Holy Writings. They were in Egypt for a while, so they had to at least speak a little Egyptian and possibly other languages that are dead now. Although Greek was the international language of the New Testament period, most historians say that Jesus also spoke Aramaic at home with Joseph and Mary.
