Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Swahili is the most widely spoken Bantu language by number of speakers. It has over 200 million speakers. Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique (along the East African coast and adjacent littoral islands).

Wolof is a Niger–Congo language spoken by the Wolof people in the West African region of Senegambia, encompassing Senegal, Mauritania, and the Gambia. It belongs to the Senegambian branch of the Niger–Congo family, like the neighboring languages Serer and Fula. Unlike most other Niger–Congo languages, Wolof is not tonal. It is the most widely spoken language in Senegal, spoken natively by 40% of the population (the Wolof people) and as a second language by most other Senegalese.
