The African languages are currently divided into the following four language families
Non-African families
The above are families indigenous to Africa. Several African languages belong to non-African families: Malagasy is an Austronesian language, and Afrikaans is Indo-European, as is the lexifier of most African creoles.

Studying African Languages
In Europe there is a project going on building up a common curriculum in African Languages and Linguistics called
EEQUALL (European Equivalences In African Languages And Linguistics). It will allow students to get credit points from
different universities.
