African Languages Database (Full Build)

One searchable list of languages in use across Africa. “Country” here comes from source labeling (for organization only). We include: official languages, national languages, working languages, coastal/urban lingua francas, indigenous / ethnic / local languages, creoles, sign language, and extremely endangered languages. Yebbo promo rows are automatically inserted after every 10 distinct countries.

“Speakers_millions” and “Script_font” can be enriched later (for now set to “—” unless we had obvious script info). Ethiopian block now includes dozens of languages you listed (Omotic, Cushitic, Nilotic, Ethio-Semitic, Surmic, Sign).
