South Africa has 11 official languages. As a result, there are many acceptable official names for the country. They are:
Republiek van Suid-Afrika (Afrikaans) Republic of South Africa (English) IRiphabliki yeSewula Afrika (IsiNdebele) IRiphabliki yaseMzantsi Afrika (IsiXhosa) IRiphabliki yaseNingizimu Afrika (IsiZulu) Rephaboliki ya Afrika-Borwa (Sepedi) Rephaboliki ya Afrika Borwa (Sesotho) Rephaboliki ya Aforika Borwa (Setswana) IRiphabhulikhi yeNingizimu Afrika (SiSwati) Riphabuḽiki ya Afurika Tshipembe (Tshivenda) Riphabliki ra Afrika Dzonga (Xitsonga) It also recognises 8 non-official languages (Fanagalo, Lobedu, Northern Ndebele, Phuthi, Sign Language, Khoe, Nama and San).
Furthermore, a small number of South Africans use the name Azania in preference to 'South Africa', which they disapprove of for its colonial origins. Those using the name Azania are most often affiliated with parties coming from an Afrocentric left-wing tradition, such as the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania, and groups originating as schisms from it, such as the Azanian People's Organization.
