Jordan / Language


The official language of Jordan in Arabic, but English is widely spoken. Jordan Television and Radio Jordan both have an English service. French and German are spoken by a few people who have commercial or cultural interests in France or Germany. JTV transmits two hours of French programs daily. A daily English newspaper, the Jordan Times, and a weekly, the Star (which has a French section) are published in Amman.
