Gujarati is spoken by roughly 48 million speakers in around 18 territories. Outside of India, there are significant numbers of speakers in United Republic of Tanzania, the United States, the United Kingdom, Uganda, Pakistan and Malaysia, and smaller numbers in several countries in southern and eastern Africa.
