African languages are widely spoken in the Bronx and Brooklyn
A central tenant of African culture is language. As Africans move to the Diaspora, they surely bring with them their rich dialects, and New York City’s linguistic pot is no exception.
Writer Andy Kiersz shared that Kru (spoken in Liberia and the Ivory Coast), Ibo (southeast Nigeria), and Yoruba (southwest Nigeria) speakers can be found in north, central, and south Bronx (the neighborhoods include Woodlawn, Eastchester, Mott Haven, and Hunts Point). Amharic, spoken in Ethiopia, is the third largest language in the Rockaways section of Brooklyn. The Mande family of languages which are spoken in Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Ivory Coast are the third most widely spoken in east Bronx (including Throgs Neck).
Looking to tap into the depth of the spoken word of various African ethnic groups, you know exactly where to go.
