Languages of Seychelles

The national languages of Seychelles are Seychellois Creole, English and French.

[1] Seychellois Creole, a French-based creole language, is by far the most commonly spoken language in the archipelago and is spoken natively by about 95% of the population.

Nevertheless, the country was a British colony for over a century and a half, and the legacy of British Seychelles made English remain the main language in government and business.

[2] It has remained in use largely because it is used by the Franco-Seychellois minority and is similar to Seychellois Creole.
