#7 What langauge do they speak?

The national language of Mozambique is Portuguese. Mozambique was a Portuguese colony until 1975 when it won its independence in a Marxist revolution. However, Portuguese is spoken primarily in the capital and other major cities. Throughout the rest of the country tribal languages are spoken.

In order to learn Portuguese, we will be spending 9 months to a year in language school in Brazil. Brazil is the largest Portuguese speaking nation on earth, and the best language schools are found there.
