It would be difficult to give an exhaustive list of all the languages of Africa as there are thousands of them! You will find this complete list within the “Language families in Africa” tab, where they are classified by language families.

We therefore list here only the languages and language groups for which we have established description sheets:

• Akele
• Baka
• Bambara (alternative name : bamanankan)
• Baynunk
• Bekwel
• Benga
• Biafada (alternative names : Beafada, Biafar, Bidyola),
• Cape Verdean (alternative names : créole capverdien, créole du Cap-vert, kabuverdianu, caboverdiano)
• North Chasu
• Casamance Creole (alternative names : kriyol, lingu kristoŋ)
• Guinea-Bissau Creole (alternative name : Kriolu)
• Geviya
• Hausa
• Korandje (alternative names : kwarandzyey, belbali)
• Menik (alternative name: Bedik)
• Mpongwè
• Punu
• Tamazight (Berber languages)
• Tasawaq

 
We hope to expand this list over time and your contributions are welcome!
