The statement "Four of the most commonly spoken languages in sub-Saharan Africa are used in Nigeria" best describes the diverse linguistic landscape of sub-Saharan Africa. This region is home to a multitude of languages, with Nigeria alone being one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, featuring several major languages such as Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Fulfulde. The other statements are inaccurate in that they either generalize the linguistic situation or overlook the complexity of languages spoken in the region.
