However, it's important to note that Africa is a vast and linguistically diverse continent, with over 2,000 languages spoken across its 55 countries.

Here's a rough breakdown of the top 5 most widely spoken languages in Africa:

1. Arabic (170 million speakers)
2. Hausa (150 million speakers)
3. Swahili (100 million speakers)
4. Yoruba (80 million speakers)
5. Zulu (70 million speakers)
