Ethnic groups Due south Africa (1911)

Ethnic groups South Africa (2004)

Statistics Due south Africa asks people to describe themselves in the demography in terms of five racial population groups.^[27] The 2011 census figures for these groups were Black African at eighty.2%, White at 8.4%, Coloured at 8.8%, Indian/Asian at 2.v%, and Other/Unspecified at 0.5%.^[28]

The white percentage of the population has sharply declined. The beginning census in South Africa in 1911 showed that whites made up 22% of the population. This declined to xvi% in 1980,^[29] and 8.9% in 2011.^{[30] : 21}

Languages [edit]

South Africa has eleven official languages:^[31] IsiZulu^[28] 22.7%, IsiXhosa^[28] 16%, Afrikaans^[28] 13.5%, English^[28] 9.6%, Sepedi^[28] nine.1%, Setswana^[28] 8%, Sesotho^[28] 7.half-dozen%, Xitsonga^[28] 4.5%, siSwati^[28] 2.5%, Tshivenda^[28] 2.4% and isiNdebele^[28] two.one%.

In this regard information technology is third only to Bolivia and Republic of india in number. While all the languages are formally equal, some languages are spoken more than others. According to the 2011 census, the 3 most spoken outset languages are Zulu (22.7%), Xhosa (sixteen.0%), and Afrikaans (thirteen.5%).^{[xxx] : 23–25} Despite the fact that English language is recognised as the language of commerce and scientific discipline, it ranked quaternary, and was spoken by only 9.6% of S Africans equally a first language in 2011.^{[30] : 23–25}

The country also recognises several unofficial languages, including Sekholokoe, Fanagalo, Khoe, Lobedu, Nama, Northern Ndebele, Phuthi, San and South African Sign Language.^[32] These unofficial languages may exist used in certain official uses in express areas where information technology has been determined that these languages are prevalent. Notwithstanding, their populations are not such that they crave nationwide recognition.

Many of the "unofficial languages" of the San and Khoikhoi people contain regional dialects stretching northwards into Namibia and Botswana, and elsewhere. These people, who are a physically distinct population from other Africans, have their own cultural identity based on their hunter-gatherer societies. They have been marginalised to a not bad extent, and many of their languages are in danger of becoming extinct.

Many white South Africans likewise speak other European languages, such as Portuguese (also spoken by black Angolans and Mozambicans), German language, and Greek, while some Indians and other Asians in South Africa speak South Asian languages, such as Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu and Telugu. Although many South Africans are of Huguenot (French) origin, South African French is spoken by fewer than 10,000 individuals land-wide. Congolese French is also spoken in South Africa by migrants.

The main sign language of deaf South Africans is Southward African Sign Language. Other sign languages amid indigenous peoples are also used.

By ethnicity [edit]

In 2011, the first language was Zulu for 28.1% of African residents, Xhosa for 19.8%, Northern Sotho for 11.2%, Tswana for nine.7%, Sesotho for 9.3%, Tsonga for 5.5%, Swati for 3.ane%, Venda for ii.nine%, English for 2.eight%, Southern Ndebele for ii.6%, Afrikaans for 1.five%, while three.four% had some other offset language.^[33]

Among whites, Afrikaans was the first language for 59.1% of the population, compared to 35.0% for English. Other languages deemed for the remaining 5.9%.^[33]

Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, this population numbered approximately 144,700 in 2007.^[41] Groups of refugees and asylum seekers numbering over x,000 included people from Zimbabwe (48,400), the Democratic republic of the congo (24,800), and Somalia (12,900).^[41] These populations mainly lived in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, and Port Elizabeth.^[41] Many refugees have at present also started to piece of work and live in rural areas in provinces such as Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal.

Statistics SA assumes in some of their calculations that there are fewer than 2 million immigrants in S Africa.^[42] Other institutions, like the police and Médecins Sans Frontières identify gauge the figure at 4 million.^{[43] [44] [45] [46] [47]}

Others pointed out that the repeal of the Population Registration Act in 1991 removed whatever legal basis for specifying 'race'. The Identification Act of 1997 makes no mention of race. On the other hand, the Employment Disinterestedness Deed speaks of 'designated groups' beingness 'black people, women and people with disabilities'. The Act defines 'black' as referring to 'Africans, coloureds and Indians'. Apartheid and the racial identification which underpinned it explicitly linked race with differential access to resources and ability. If the post-apartheid order was committed to remedying this, race would accept to be included in surveys and censuses, so that progress in eradicating the consequences of apartheid could be measured and monitored. This was the reasoning that led to a 'self-identifying' question near 'race' or 'population grouping' in both the 1996 and 2001 population censuses, and in Statistics SA's household survey programme.
