<P> Language is not static in Africa any more than on other continents . In addition to the (likely modest) impact of borders, there are also cases of dialect levelling (such as in Igbo and probably many others), koinés (such as N'Ko and possibly Runyakitara) and emergence of new dialects (such as Sheng). In some countries, there are official efforts to develop standardized language versions . </P> <P> There are also many less widely spoken languages that may be considered endangered languages . </P> <P> Of the 1 billion Africans (in 2009), about 17 percent speak an Arabic dialect . About 10 percent speak Swahili, the lingua franca of Southeast Africa; about 5 percent speak a Berber dialect; and about 5 percent speak Hausa, which serves as a lingua franca in much of the Sahel . Other important West African languages are Yoruba, Igbo and Fula . Major Horn of Africa languages are Amharic, Oromo and Somali . Important South African languages are Zulu, Xhosa and Afrikaans . </P> <P> English, French and Portuguese are important languages in Africa . About 130 million, 115 million and 30 million Africans, respectively, speak them as either native or secondary languages . Portuguese has become the national language of Angola . Through (among other factors) sheer demographic weight, Africans are increasingly taking ownership of these three world languages and having an ever - greater influence on their development and growth . </P>
