(Redirected from List of official languages by country)This is a complete 'list of the
official languages designated in the
sovereign states' of the world. It includes all languages that have official language status either statewide or in a part of the state,
regional language status, or
minority language status.
Only states, which are defined as sovereign, internationally recognised,
independent political entities, are listed. This is not a list of
countries or
nations, although many states listed, are simultaneously also countries and/or nations.
For
dependent territories, refer to the corresponding sovereign states.
Definitions

★ ''Regional language'': one designated as having official status limited to a specific area, administrative division, or territory of the state (on this page a regional language will have parentheses next to it that contain a region, province, etc. where the language has regional status)
★ ''Minority language'': (as used here) one spoken by a minority population within the state and officially designated as such; typically afforded protection and designated an officially permissible language for legal and government business in a specific area or territory of the state (on this page a minority language will be followed by parentheses that identify its minority status)
★ ''
National language'': one that uniquely represents the national identity of a state, nation, and/or country and so designated by a country's government; some are technically minority languages (on this page a national language will be followed by parentheses that identify it as a national language status)
