African Language Families
Nearly 1,000 distinctive languages and several thousand named dialects documented. The great number of languages come from at least 5,000 years of minimal interaction. European missionaries and colonial officers began to record African languages in the 1800's.
Only 10 languages are spoken by more than 10 million people.
