rwanda language

There are three different languages being spoken in Rwanda: Kinyarwanda, English and French. It is interesting that English was actually brought over to Rwanda through refugees. That after the 1994 genocide that happened in Rwanda, the troops that went over and helped the country were English speaking people, and they brought English over to Rwanda. It is amazing what can happen in a war. Sometimes war only brings hatred to a country, devastating, kiling millions of people, but other times it actually do good things to a country. which in this case, it brings a new language to a group of people. New languages mean new culture. New culture bings cultural diversity, creating amazing things at the same time.
Other than that, Rwanda has more dialects than the three languages. It has about 8 or 9 dialects also, but most people in Rwanda still speak Kinyarwanda, indicating that the group who speaks Kinyarwanda is outnumbering all the other languages.
Arts and culture in Rwanda is amazing too. Rwanda has a rich, artistic community that brings diversity.
