African languages

The African languages are currently divided into the following four language families

Non-African families

The above are families indigenous to Africa. Two African languages belong to non-African families: Malagasy is an Austronesian language, and Afrikaans is Indo-European.

Studying African Languages

In Europe there is a project going on building up a common curriculum in African Languages and Linguistics called EEQUALL (European Equivalences In African Languages And Linguistics). It will allow students to get credit points from different universities.
