Bubi is a Bantu language spoken on Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea, the homeland of the Bubi people. Spanish is the country's official language, so most Bubi speakers are bilingual, and many also use Pichi, an English-based creole spoken around the capital, Malabo. Centuries of island separation have left Bubi somewhat apart from mainland Bantu languages, and its varieties differ noticeably between the north and south of Bioko. Speaker numbers are modest, in the tens of thousands, and Spanish dominates public life, education and the media. When written, Bubi uses the Latin alphabet, though it remains above all a spoken community language passed on within families and villages.
