Map showing the approximate distribution of the four African language families. Indo-European, in the form of Afrikaans, is quite widespread in the southern tip of Africa but it has been omitted here for clarity.

This map is the basic map of the African language families series. Other maps in this series:

• Afro-Asiatic
• Nilo-Saharan
• Niger-Congo
• Khoi-San
• African language families (with some examples of major languages)
