Believe it if you can, but in Africa approximately two thousand languages are spoken. That's right! But don't think that each one is spoken by few people. More than 50 languages have more than a million speakers each. About a dozen, in turn, have more than 10 million speakers each. Arabic, for example, is the language used by over 150 million Africans. More than 70 million people, on the other hand, communicate through Hausa, a language present in northwestern Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa.
