I really want to know more about african langauges. Do you know any? If so, say the name of the african langauge and say something in that langauge and tell me what it means in english. I've heard some african langauges and i think it's beautiful the way some africans speak.

Quote:

Apparently if you speak swahili or any other bantu languages you should be able to understand 80% of all sub saharan african languages.

Quote:

Either that or you should be able to easily pick them up. Yoruba being the exception. Damn that language sounds almost germanic in its aggressive tones.
