French is a white language they should have definitely added Kiswahili, Luganda, Kirundi Mijikenda languages, Zulu, Xhosa, Shona, and Lingala this are my favourite.
XYU Your wrong . Swahili has 150 million speakers ACROSS the whole sub-Saharan Africa (especially the African Great Lake region , central and Southern Africa) . Yoruba is only spoken by 40 million people mostly only in Nigeria and Benin . There are actually way more french and Arabic speakers in Africa than Yoruba (and those aren’t even native languages). Hausa is also bigger than YORUBA with more than 50 million people. Yoruba isn’t that big.
XYU also Akan and Amharic are not big languages , only about 10 million people speak Amharic in Africa ( Ethiopia) , and the same for Akan but in Ghana .
How could y’all not have Swahili. My heart melt every time I hear someone speak that language and I’m positive I’m not the only one who’d like to learn Swahili.
Of course. Africa the Sleeping Giant. Yesterday Friday I suppose it was 9th Feb,23 More than 20 countries were in Mombasa,Kenya to contribute and put everything forward regarding Swahili Dictionary and sort out most the things regarding Swahili language.

East african 123 I’ve heard from many friends who visited Djibouti who have said that the girls there are particular good looking. Although I just thought them to be Somali. But I guess it’s because there less conservative nation in general and there women are able to show there beauty off more as compared to In Somalia.

I understand what you mean 👍 People have been intermingling for Thousands of years but sadly we allow politics, religion and foolish human nature get in the way of true progress.
Is there a way to be more "African"? Afrikaans is a language and white people are 100% South Africans. Please stop marking the differences and start appreciating diversity. South African languages are beautiful and they all belong to SA.
@@moxide No one's denying the historical facts but there's no future for those who live in the past. SA is beautiful for its diversity, start appreciating diversity.
I don't think they are referring to how different regions my speak the same language but it may differ a little based on the region. Take for example Tswana (I'm assuming you're from SA ?), the Tswana we speak in Pretoria is different from the Tswana in North west.
Exactly. Many Westerners also have this tendency to refer to various African ethnic groups as "Tribes" regardless of affiliation, with a subconscious "they all look the same to me" mindset This phenomenon evidently goes hand in hand with the "Dialect" factor.
Where there's a high level of mutual intelligibility both in spoken and written form, it generally counts as a dialect. For example I'm luhya and in our language are more than 20 different regional dialects that all form the general language but aren't exactly the same. They all sound similar but the further a dialect is physically apart from another the harder it it for speakers to completely understand each other.
I don't like when westerners call African languages dialects. Why include french? French is not an african language. I'm from west Africa and i speak french, ewe, kotocoli, english, but the most beautiful language in Africa in my opinion is Lingala
@@keraatkins7833 No. french didnt influence anything. If you mean the pidgin french mostly spoken in Ivory Coast or in Cameroon, Gabon (french words mixed with local languages) maybe but french didnt not influence any african language. We speak French in offices, in schools, with foreigners or with people from the same country but from a different ethnic group, that's it. Beyond that we prefer to speak our own native languages.
Afrikaans is an African language. It's not a Dutch dialect. It's a language that spun off of Dutch. It's spoken by Afrikaners and Coloureds, both African ethnic groups.

@@orlanekingjames1460 man you are an idiot. Afrikaans was created by the indigenous Khoisan and slaves brought from around the world with its base being Dutch. Proud of my Khoisan heritage and my mother tongue Afrikaans. It is the only African language that you can allows you to study anything at university level and doing postgraduate studies.
For me, it’s not even that, it’s just that I don’t think Afrikaans is sexy. It’s too rough 😂 It’s a South African language 100% but I feel the same way about Xhosa and Tswana tbh
@@patrickjacobs1715 Oh I get it but within this language my dear which tongue is dominant ? Doesn't it sounds more like Dutch than an actual African language ? Just tell me because I want to know. But I mean you're South African you know better I guess. Just saying that South Africa is just not well represented all the time, it's just like dominated by white people while it's a black African country, it's provocation to always represent an African country by an ethnicity who is normally not originally from there it's just disrespect and a lot of South Africans agree with that.
Printsessa the girl from Congo she is absolutely gorgeous and I love her accent it’s so sexy and this is coming from a Trinidad 🇹🇹 I can listen to her talk whole day
They added French, a foreign language, and left out swahili, that is spoken in most of Eastern Africa and is an African language..... Thumbs down for me!!!!
It can be nice if they make this type of video for different regions in Africa. For example "Sexiest North African language" or "Eastern African" etc then people can get to know many of the beautiful languages all over Africa. I'm from a Sounthern central country called Zambia💖
Patrick Jacobs It’s a Cushitic language, both Semitic and Cushitic are Afro asiatic languages so I understand why the mixup between Somali and Semitic languages. It’s good to note also that many argue for Semitic languages having origins in Cushitic languages like Somali or afan oromo.
@@patrickjacobs1715 True. Somali alphabet/letters is pronounced same as arabic alphabet although there are one or two alphabet that are not in arabic. I don't know about Aramaic or Hebrew but I guess they sound same as arabic. The reason Somali sounds to you as Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic because of these languages come from the same source or proto afroasiatic origin.
representing east Africa but we need more east Africans. how is west Africa represented by like six people and one East African? they should get a Kenyan also
In my little Caribbean nation many of us have Yoruba, igbo and Ashanti blood so it's nice to hear one of the languages of my ancestry, I too will ask a lady that I like to marry me as soon as or shortly after meeting her. I now see where I get it from 😁 One love to all And stay safe 👍
@@natdeji over 25% of blacks in the Caribbean are said to have descended from blacks taken from the bights of Benin and Biafra. And cos of the cross marriages over the years. Over 70% are said to have the bloods cussing through their veins. So of course, you'd see a lot of Yorubas and igbos here.
Africa is really rich in terms of language. To my opinion Swahili is the most sexiest and easy to learn language. Also Swahili music is mind blowing. I love all African Languages.

Where dose it derived from dutch which is not of this land, native languages are not derived from anywhere else in the world except here in Africa. My distaste for the language is being show and my disapproval of the disputable human beings that brought it here, colonizers. So if me making light of the obvious is racial to you then, you person I don't know, are ignorant to the history of South Africa or Africans in general (and it is racial and Afrikaans is not African, its a dialect for Dutch people who never went back home)
@@ladympho It is so much more than that and has been added to by all sorts of cultures in SA (and also Indonesia) to the point that it is a different language to Dutch. I know the history of SA very well, thanks. Whether you like it or not it is an African language. I take it you feel the same way about Zulu culture as they conquered, massacred and enslaved the lands around them, or is it only white people that can be colonisers?
@Richmond Apore That simply isn't true. The Dutch that the original settlers spoke doesn't exist anymore. Languages, much like organisms, evolve over time. Afrikaans is also known as 'kitchen' dutch as it was spoken by black Africans who added their own influence to the language. This created the hybrid language that we have today. You do realise that other African languages have gone through this process? For instance, the Berber language of North Africa is another hybrid language. It is known as an afroasiatic language as it is a hybrid of African and Arabic languages. By your logic, this isn't an african language, yet like Afrikaans it was formed in Africa. By the way there are 500 million speakers of afro-asiatic languages in North Africa, who now don't speak an African language according to you.
Ya'll complaining as to why there is no Swahili speaking person on here, although i agree, but chill the pandemic is still going on. They may not have been able to find someone who spoke Swahili in this current situation.
Please do a part two, this time with no European languages, and more explanations of the languages for people who aren't as familiar. Educate the world on the beauty and complexity of African languages!
European? Afrikaans is a language born in South Africa from multiple languages, it is the youngest language in the world. Afrikaans isn't a language from Europe. We compare it to Dutch because its the easiest way to explain its origin, but it is not Dutch. Do not discredit my people.

@@etiennedelarue thats the most hilarious joke i've ever heard in my entire life seeing as that Somalis historically inhabit the most extensive/biggest stretch of land mass out of ANY group in Africa. Since you said Amhara you're most definitely trolling.
@@YoureRightIThink African languages are the languages that spoken by and belong to the inhabitants that live in Africa.. French/English/Portuguese might be adopted by the Africans but still they are not African language. Same with Arabic too.
@@lonelyberg1316 it is spoken yeah but still it doesn’t belong to Africa, Africans adopted it from the colonizers. Same with English, Portuguese and Arabic.
@@zakielmi1418 yeah I get that, but they're still widely spoken on a daily basis right? Or is it a more casual thing and they use respective tribal languages? My point is that by your logic a place like Brazil also wouldn't consider portuguese their language, and countries like Mexico or Colombia wouldn't either since they were also colonized. Or for example Paraguay where both spanish and guaraní is used regularly would only consider the later to be their language?
Happy Friday! Just to let you guys know - this video was a tiny, TINY sample of the incredible array of dialects and languages in Africa and we definitely missed some major ones like Swahili. If you want, we can make a part 2 featuring some other African languages. For the North Africans wondering why we are keep referring to this as Sub-Saharan series - it is only to separate Africa from North Africa (so we can keep these more focused). If you have a better term than Sub Saharan, let me know below. Otherwise - this is the best one I could find to describe the region :) PS also we had a typo and put "Congolese" instead of "Kikongo" at the beginning
Just a suggestion, north, west, east and south. In Africa here, one horrible thing that happened is the schism between the north and sub-saharan regions. We are one Africa. This is one way Africa was weakened. I'm not prejudiced by the way, I love Europeans and all Humans deeply but I want us to move forward. That being said, thank you for your videos. I enjoyed this one. But please, in the future, try to portray a united Africa, if you can. Thank you so much for all you do. Take care of yourself. 💗
It’s so exciting to see African languages featured 👏🏾👏🏾. Thanks for the additional note, but you didn’t really need to say “sub-Sharan” as that’s also not a region . Most of these terms are very colonially charged and unnecessary in your beautiful video. I would suggest just referring them as African languages and you featuring the various languages from various countries whether in North, South, Center , East or West Africa . We have 54 beautiful countries with lovely languages. So glad you featured Kikongo as I have relatives who from the Bakongo ethnic group ( in Angola) who also speak this language. I can’t wait to see more African languages in your videos ( especially Kimbundu, Umbundo or Kwanhama 🇦🇴😁)
French, of course not. Pidgin, if it came to be in Africa, then yes. It doesn't matter from which language it is descended (just like Maltese being descended from Arabic and still an European language).
@@henringallikingue910 Exactly. The single thing that makes a language "European", "African", or "Asian" is the geographical location of where it originated. Those terms are not racial (at least in Linguistics), just geographic. If a group of (Native American) Cherokee people migrated to Africa, developed their own identity and language based on Cherokee within the continent, this new language would be still an African language, even if not within the linguistic continuum of the other language families of the continent. Same for Pidgin. It is not English, it diverged enough to become a new language. Same with Afrikaans, it is not Dutch. Now, French, English and Portuguese are not. They are still the same language in Africa as they are the rest of the world.

Not every somali from Somalia
East african 123 I’ve heard from many friends who visited Djibouti who have said that the girls there are particular good looking. Although I just thought them to be Somali. But I guess it’s because there less conservative nation in general and there women are able to show there beauty off more as compared to In Somalia.
East african 123 yes there good looking on average. Probably 7/10 on average. There’s fewer 8, 9, 10’s.

Why do westerners like calling African languages dialects?
I don't think they are referring to how different regions my speak the same language but it may differ a little based on the region. Take for example Tswana (I'm assuming you're from SA ?), the Tswana we speak in Pretoria is different from the Tswana in North west.
*ignore the don't
Exactly. Many Westerners also have this tendency to refer to various African ethnic groups as "Tribes" regardless of affiliation, with a subconscious "they all look the same to me" mindset This phenomenon evidently goes hand in hand with the "Dialect" factor.
Makes no sense to me. They are LANGUAGES
Where there's a high level of mutual intelligibility both in spoken and written form, it generally counts as a dialect. For example I'm luhya and in our language are more than 20 different regional dialects that all form the general language but aren't exactly the same. They all sound similar but the further a dialect is physically apart from another the harder it it for speakers to completely understand each other.
That Russian born Congo girl though. Great smile & postive vibe
Thank you ❤️
Nigeria has many languages I'm from the Igbo tribe. thanks for the Yoruba man for representing us he is gentle man

I don't like when westerners call African languages dialects. Why include french? French is not an african language. I'm from west Africa and i speak french, ewe, kotocoli, english, but the most beautiful language in Africa in my opinion is Lingala
Amele A but didn’t french kinda help influence some of the dialects or languages in Africa
@@keraatkins7833 No. french didnt influence anything. If you mean the pidgin french mostly spoken in Ivory Coast or in Cameroon, Gabon (french words mixed with local languages) maybe but french didnt not influence any african language. We speak French in offices, in schools, with foreigners or with people from the same country but from a different ethnic group, that's it. Beyond that we prefer to speak our own native languages.

Somali language sounded like it could be on audible
Sounds very much like a semitic language like Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic. I might be wrong. Apologies if I am.
Patrick Jacobs It’s a Cushitic language, both Semitic and Cushitic are Afro asiatic languages so I understand why the mixup between Somali and Semitic languages.
It’s good to note also that many argue for Semitic languages having origins in Cushitic languages like Somali or afan oromo.

@@patrickjacobs1715 True. Somali alphabet/letters is pronounced same as arabic alphabet although there are one or two alphabet that are not in arabic.

Afrikaans is an african language. It's only spoken in Africa. Your racism is on display.
Where dose it derived from dutch which is not of this land, native languages are not derived from anywhere else in the world except here in Africa. My distaste for the language is being show and my disapproval of the disputable human beings that brought it here, colonizers. So if me making light of the obvious is racial to you then, you person I don't know, are ignorant to the history of South Africa or Africans in general (and it is racial and Afrikaans is not African, its a dialect for Dutch people who never went back home)
@@ladympho It is so much more than that and has been added to by all sorts of cultures in SA (and also Indonesia) to the point that it is a different language to Dutch. I know the history of SA very well, thanks. Whether you like it or not it is an African language. I take it you feel the same way about Zulu culture as they conquered, massacred and enslaved the lands around them, or is it only white people that can be colonisers?
@Richmond Apore That simply isn't true. The Dutch that the original settlers spoke doesn't exist anymore. Languages, much like organisms, evolve over time. Afrikaans is also known as 'kitchen' dutch as it was spoken by black Africans who added their own influence to the language. This created the hybrid language that we have today. You do realise that other African languages have gone through this process? For instance, the Berber language of North Africa is another hybrid language. It is known as an afroasiatic language as it is a hybrid of African and Arabic languages. By your logic, this isn't an african language, yet like Afrikaans it was formed in Africa. By the way there are 500 million speakers of afro-asiatic languages in North Africa, who now don't speak an African language according to you.
Agreed!

Ya'll complaining as to why there is no Swahili speaking person on here, although i agree, but chill the pandemic is still going on. They may not have been able to find someone who spoke Swahili in this current situation.
They should just walk into Zanzibar or Coast of Kenya and pick anyone LOL
Please do a part two, this time with no European languages, and more explanations of the languages for people who aren't as familiar. Educate the world on the beauty and complexity of African languages!
How about you go to african channel to get that
European? Afrikaans is a language born in South Africa from multiple languages, it is the youngest language in the world. Afrikaans isn't a language from Europe. We compare it to Dutch because its the easiest way to explain its origin, but it is not Dutch. Do not discredit my people.

Well if it's widely spoken there it is in some way. Same as portuguese in Brazil or spanish in Colombia
@@YoureRightIThink African languages are the languages that spoken by and belong to the inhabitants that live in Africa.. French/English/Portuguese might be adopted by the Africans but still they are not African language. Same with Arabic too.
@@lonelyberg1316 it is spoken yeah but still it doesn’t belong to Africa, Africans adopted it from the colonizers. Same with English, Portuguese and Arabic.
@@zakielmi1418 yeah I get that, but they're still widely spoken on a daily basis right? Or is it a more casual thing and they use respective tribal languages?
My point is that by your logic a place like Brazil also wouldn't consider portuguese their language, and countries like Mexico or Colombia wouldn't either since they were also colonized.
Or for example Paraguay where both spanish and guaraní is used regularly would only consider the later to be their language?
Happy Friday! Just to let you guys know - this video was a tiny, TINY sample of the incredible array of dialects and languages in Africa and we definitely missed some major ones like Swahili. If you want, we can make a part 2 featuring some other African languages. For the North Africans wondering why we are keep referring to this as Sub-Saharan series - it is only to separate Africa from North Africa (so we can keep these more focused). If you have a better term than Sub Saharan, let me know below. Otherwise - this is the best one I could find to describe the region :)
PS also we had a typo and put "Congolese" instead of "Kikongo" at the beginning
Just a suggestion, north, west, east and south. In Africa here, one horrible thing that happened is the schism between the north and sub-saharan regions. We are one Africa. This is one way Africa was weakened. I'm not prejudiced by the way, I love Europeans and all Humans deeply but I want us to move forward. That being said, thank you for your videos. I enjoyed this one. But please, in the future, try to portray a united Africa, if you can. Thank you so much for all you do. Take care of yourself. 💗
Swahili?
How do you miss Swahili of all African languages
It’s so exciting to see African languages featured 👏🏾👏🏾. Thanks for the additional note, but you didn’t really need to say “sub-Sharan” as that’s also not a region . Most of these terms are very colonially charged and unnecessary in your beautiful video. I would suggest just referring them as African languages and you featuring the various languages from various countries whether in North, South, Center , East or West Africa . We have 54 beautiful countries with lovely languages. So glad you featured Kikongo as I have relatives who from the Bakongo ethnic group ( in Angola) who also speak this language. I can’t wait to see more African languages in your videos ( especially Kimbundu, Umbundo or Kwanhama 🇦🇴😁)
Get more East Afrikans onboard....
They should’ve featured Somali longer. I love hearing my language spoken.
The answer is literally Swahili, yet it's not even used in the video?
That’s crazy that girl spoke Russian, it’s so unusual to see that O_O
Out of the African languages I've heard so far I have to say Lingala is my favorite.

@Oduntan Oduntan originated from africa as what? its broken english..if it was mix of nigerian tribe languages it would be african...
@@JoaoPedro-gc8mw pidgin english of africa is from over there. This dialect born in Africa
@@henringallikingue910 Exactly. The single thing that makes a language "European", "African", or "Asian" is the geographical location of where it originated. Those terms are not racial (at least in Linguistics), just geographic. If a group of (Native American) Cherokee people migrated to Africa, developed their own identity and language based on Cherokee within the continent, this new language would be still an African language, even if not within the linguistic continuum of the other language families of the continent. Same for Pidgin. It is not English, it diverged enough to become a new language. Same with Afrikaans, it is not Dutch. Now, French, English and Portuguese are not. They are still the same language in Africa as they are the rest of the world.
