African languages first. Then the world.

Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ogu (Egun / Gùngbè), Swahili. Spanish, French, Arabic, and Portuguese sit after — not instead.

The Sahel Harshen Hausa Hausa A lingua franca across the Sahel. Gbagli lagoon Gùngbè Ogu (Egun) Gbagli to Họgbonu. Gùngbè — a Gbe tongue, not Yoruba.
