Answer 2

Answer:

It is false that German is one of the various languages spoken in African regions.

Explanation:

In Africa, more than two thousand different languages ​​are spoken, from well-known languages ​​such as Arabic and Swahili to smaller languages. These languages ​​belong to different language families: from the Afro-Asian languages ​​to the Niger-Congo languages ​​and from the Nilo-Saharan languages ​​to the Khoi languages. Many of these language families can be broken up into smaller branches. Arabic, for example, belongs to the subgroup of Semitic languages ​​within the Afro-Asian, and Swahili to the Bantu languages ​​within the Niger-Congo family. In addition to the large language families, there are also many smaller groups, and even languages ​​that do not have existing relatives, the so-called isolates. This makes Africa one of the most language-rich continents in the world: it hosts only 11% of the world's population, but more than 30% of all languages.

There are also many languages that have been implanted by colonization, such as English, French and Portuguese (mainly), but also minority languages such as Spanish in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea. Regarding German, it is spoken by minorities in Namibia, but it does not have a great significance within the continent.
