OVERVIEW

Africa languages

    The thousands of peoples and the nations populating Africa, within the centuries have produced the thousands of aboriginal tongues and dialects. In one only Sudan more than 100 adverbs are present; the same is possible to say and about the other big African countries. And many of these adverbs are completely not similar, and peoples from the remote villages of one country are inclined not to understand each other.
   
    The colonizers tried to unify somehow this multi-language crowd, introducing on terrains of colonies their lovely tongues. In some countries they managed to do that. So, for example, in Kenya, Botswana and Namibia not less than 50 % of the population speak English, and in Tanzania - more than 10 %, that is quite good as well. In Angola and Mozambique the significant part of the population accepts the Portuguese tongue, and in many countries of Western Africa, up to Congo - Zaire, - French. Boreal Africa speaks Arabic.
