They are a wonderful and helpful people.
They need more than five star, because all the time when a request to them some good stuff (translation and notarised of my documents) they do their best to send me on time.

African refers to the thousands of languages spoken across the African continent and not just to one single tongue.

South Africa has 11 official African languages. IsiZulu and isiXhosa are the most commonly spoken languages. Though a large portion of the South African population speaks multiple languages.
The most spoken language in Africa is Swahili which is estimated to have around 100 to 150 million speakers.
