The Niger–Congo languages constitute the largest language family spoken in West Africa and perhaps the world in terms of the number of languages. One of its salient features is an elaborate noun class system with grammatical concord. A large majority of languages of this family are tonal such as Yoruba and Igbo, Akan and Ewe language. A major branch of Niger–Congo languages is the Bantu phylum, which has a wider speech area than the rest of the family (see Niger–Congo B (Bantu) in the map above).

In Afrikaans, many consonants are dropped from the earlier Dutch spelling. For example, slechts ('only') in Dutch becomes slegs in Afrikaans. Also, Afrikaans and some Dutch dialects make no distinction between /s/ and /z/, having merged the latter into the former; while the word for "south" is written zuid in Dutch, it is spelled suid in Afrikaans (as well as dialectal Dutch writings) to represent this merger. Similarly, the Dutch digraph ij, normally pronounced as /ɛi/, corresponds to Afrikaans y, except where it replaces the Dutch suffix –lijk which is pronounced as /lək/, as in waarschijnlijk> waarskynlik. Delvis på grund av världsdelens mångspråkighet och koloniala historia finns en stor andel av världens kreolspråk i Afrika. Vissa är baserade på europeiska språk (till exempel krio från engelska i Sierra Leone, Övre Guinea-kriol från portugisiska i Guinea-Bissau och Senegal, seychellisk kreol från franska på Seychellerna), vissa är baserade på arabiska (till exempel Jubaarabiska i södra Sudan och nubi i delar av Uganda och Kenya) och vissa är baserade på lokala språk (till exempel sango, det viktigaste språket i Centralafrikanska republiken.)

Some of these words entered Dutch via people arriving from what is now known as Indonesia as part of their colonial heritage.

The Hague: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS).A particular feature of Afrikaans is its use of the double negative; it is classified in Afrikaans as ontkennende vorm and is something that is absent from the other West Germanic standard languages. For example, An estimated 90 to 95% of the Afrikaans lexicon is ultimately of Dutch origin, [66] [67] [68] and there are few lexical differences between the two languages. [69] Afrikaans has a considerably more regular morphology, [70] grammar, and spelling. [71] There is a high degree of mutual intelligibility between the two languages, [70] [72] [73] particularly in written form. [71] [74] [75] Malagasy belongs to the Austronesian languages and is the westernmost branch of the family. It is the national and co-official language of Madagascar, and a Malagasy dialect called Bushi is also spoken in Mayotte. Oluwole, Victor (12 September 2021).
