Endangered Languages in Africa a subpage of WikiProject endangered languages and language revitalization

Note:

• Below the tables there are alphabetized listings that need to be merged into the tables.
• Moreover, the contents of the tables need to be checked -- probably many of these are now extinct languages.
• Languages known to be extinct will receive an explicit value of 0 in the Speakers column, with appropriate referencing as a footnote, for later removal to a separate page.
• Countries may have two tables. This is a temporary phase; the tables should be merged..
