African Languages Database (Reference Integrated)

African Languages Database (Reference Build)

Each row = one language in use inside Africa. “Country” column is from your reference list. “Type” is if it's listed as Official/National or “Other spoken.” We include colonial/administrative languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic), national African languages, trade lingua francas, and local/ethnic languages. You can search or filter.

Search (language, notes, etc.)

Filter by Country All Countries

Filter by Type All Official/National Other Spoken

“Speakers_millions” and “Script_font” were not included in your reference table, so for now they are marked “—” and can be enriched later.
