The official language of Botswana is English. It is used in government, legal proceedings, and serves as the primary language for Education. In addition to English, Setswana, a Bantu language, is widely spoken by the majority of the population and is often considered a national language. Setswana plays a significant role in local culture, providing a sense of identity and community among the people. The coexistence of both languages reflects Botswana's colonial history and its efforts to promote cultural heritage through the use of indigenous languages in various contexts.
