[IRONm@N]

Can you tell us other countries that speak one langauge?
Also I said Sunni Muslim -not just muslim. the 0.1% christians were Italians, Oromo/Ethiopia refugees but not real Somalis.

JAPAN, GERMANY, ITALY, FRANCE, SOME ARAB COUNTRIES, AND ETC DID YOU MEAN THE ONLY COUNTRY
IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN TO SPEAK ONE LANGUAGE THEN YOUR RIGHT DON'T SAY IN THE WORLD

[paidmonk]

One language is a stretch, you must mean one OFFICIAL language.

Ethiopia is also another country with just one official language, same as Sudan, Egypt and some of the other Arab countries.
