The Bureau of Languages is a bureau of the Ministry of Culture. It is responsible for the dictionaries of the recognised languages of the Commonwealth, and for teaching English to new arrivals. Federal law is also translated by the bureau into each of the recognised languages.

Because the country has dozens of indigenous and foreign languages, English is promoted as its working language, a decision made for practical purposes. Schools teach fluency in a local language as well as in English, under the curriculum of the Curriculum and Qualifications Council, and the bureau also runs adult classes in English. The languages of the country include Oslolan, French, Dutch and Spanish, Irish in Allia and a number of creoles. The bureau was established in 1964.
