Some of the Major African Languages.
(This is by no means an expansive list.)
There are over 2100 and by some counts over 3000 languages spoken natively in Africa.

Secretly,
I’m jealous of African kids, or any 1st generation immigrant for that matter, who can speak their native language. My parents didn’t “Americanize” me, actually they did the complete opposite of that, and although they speak my language at home and sometimes use it when talking to me the never really taught me. It’s not that I didnt care, but when I was younger I never saw it as a big deal becuase I knew a bunch of other African kids who couldn’t speak their language, and I still do. But I get jealous when I see kids who can talk to their parents or other people of their tribe/ethnic group in their native tongue. I’ve even met a white person who can speak my own language better than me. That’s just a shame.
Me too.
Day 13 - Your favourite languages
Number One: I love my homeland, my mother-tongue: Yoruba.
Tied for Number Two: I love Spanish, a language that has always just appealed to me since my youth and Sign Language, a language that amazes me in its ability to speak without words.
Number Three: English. I speak it. I have a pretty high level of mastery in it. And half of Earth speaks it as well.
