4 – African "language"

As they think Africa is a country, there is also a common African idiom. Many times my friends asked me about the African language. I speak Portuguese. I have learned English, French, Spanish and Chinese. I know Africa has more than 2,000 idioms and dialects, but never 非洲语. In Google translator we can find "Afrikaans," which is one of the 11 official languages in South Africa. I use English and even Chinese to communicate with my African friends.
