Ivory Coast
French, the official language, is taught in schools and serves as a lingua franca in the country. An estimated 70 languages are spoken in Ivory Coast. One of the most common is Dyula, which acts as a trade language, as well as a language commonly spoken by the Muslim population.
Wané language
Wané (Hwané, Ngwané) is a minor Kru language of Ivory Coast. It is not close enough to its nearest relative, Bakwé, to be readily intelligible, though some young Wané speak that language.
