However, in just a few minutes we'll learn how linguists classified them into just five families. Once we meet Africa's language areas, the five families begin to fall apart. We'll leave with a complicated picture of families, hypothetical groups and many isolates and debated classifications. Along the way, come to appreciate Africa's diverse peoples and languages. ~ Credits ~ Art, narration, animation and some of the music by Josh from NativLang Sources for claims made, and full credits for music, fonts, sfx: docs.google.com/document/d/1Hihfgik9supmLFEnyMmQF9iKgnmX-M1hSJG20TgseTM Music: Please see my doc above.
