No we don't need one language, Our languages are similar, You just need to able hear and reply in your language and another person also. I can hear Tshivenda, Tsonga and Zulu but I'm Sotho.
can you understand fulani? or hausa? or maybe yoruba or igbo? perhaps you can understand amharic or oromo? No? Ah then maybe you can understand English? Well let me explain with this English that we need ONE african language that all Africans can speak to each other with. 😉
@@seriehub4344Let their be a draw as to what language will be alongside Arabic for the continental race for the two official languages 😇 We need a Black Emoji even lol
We should just use Swahili. It is easy to pronounce similar to the way English is phonetic. What you read is how you say it. It is a language that is not very tribal either, it is just a shared language. African Children should know 1 continental language, 1 global language and 1 local language. At the least. We need to factor this into our life. For example Swahili, English and Igbo or Swahili, French and Hausa. I am Nigerian
or Swahili, Arabic, and (insert local language). Every country in Africa should speak Swahili. We will talk among ourselves, each region and area will work with other continents for us, and we will retain our culture with our own. SIMPLE.
Preserve indigenous African linguistic groups. There is poetry, proverbs, folklore, worriers, songs, medicine law, governing rules, and spiritual life worship beliefs in all. A to Z Indigenous tribal identity that is a bedrock of our continent foundations. Africa inheritance of colonial Era administration languages here to stay with us for generations. African Unions is conducting its business annual meetings with English and French , Portuguese. Arabic in North Africa. Zulu in Southern, Hausa in West Africa. Kiswahili in East Africa are spoken by majority dominant groups.
Arabic, Swahili, and Hausa are good picks for north, east/south/central and west Africa respectively. They all have history as trade languages and are in use already by people across diverse ethnic backgrounds. These would work great as regional languages. And English can still be taught when it’s time for the select few to communicate internationally Also, one’s native language can still be spoken with those of your ethnic group. I think this is a great strategy because indigenous languages have structures and concepts that are easier for indigenous people to master since they are closer linguistically to languages in the area already. English is foreign not only culturally but linguistically as well. It’s very realistic for African people to speak 3 languages by the time they graduate college. You have been doing it for decades already. The linguistic diversity of Africa can be a real strength because since you already have experience cohabitating and learning multiple languages, it sets you apart from countries and regions like Asia where the English level is relatively low. Africa can be a leader in successful multilingualism and language education
@@youssouphasarr3420 I never said it was. I said it was a good pick for the north. North Africans have already unified themselves under Arabic, so it isn't even practical to suggest changing it. They accepted Arabic and an Arab identity.
@@DmarquettePainter nous sommes des africains notre identité nous suffit largement. Nous ne detestons pas les arabes et la langue arabe mais la langue arabe b est pas africaine. Il ne peut pas y avoir une unité africaine . Nous voulons simplement un Etat federal d afrique noire tout court.
Arabic will be good for some areas, but not all. It will be internationally connective language, same way some speak English, or some speak Portuguese in Africa. I say Arabic is a quasi-colonial language as well. As for Hausa perhaps Northern/Central countries. But it cannot reach fully since it is a tribal language with just as fierce tribes surrounding it who would never adopt it effectively (Yoruba and Igbo). The only Language I will agree to being continental is Swahili and it will face its challenges from tribal pride who wish their language to be above all

In Ethiopia 🇪🇹 according to the Ethiopian constitution the working language of the federal government of Addis Ababa is Amharic but 80 plus languages are spoken in Ethiopia. The majority of the modern higher learning education system of Ethiopia use English as the primary language to teach doctors,computer science,accountants,etc. For example on all my Ethiopian documents like Passport,Birth Certificate,ID,DL is written in Amharic & English. Most of the successful individuals in Addis Ababa speak more than one language & most speak either Afan Oromo/english, Amharic/english, Tigrigna/english.
There should be two official languages in Afrika for Trade and Economic Relations Arabic and one other Bantu language whether it’s Swahili or Hausa etc.

Just one?
The Sesotho language is the right language because it is already official language in 3 countries
Sesotho is spoken by fewer people and only in Free State and Gauteng.
