Africa is the second most populous continent in the world and is home to hundreds of languages and cultures, each with its own unique names and naming conventions. African ethnic groups are generally grouped into six categories geographically: East Africa, Horn of Africa, West Africa, North Africa, Southern Africa and Middle Africa.
The names used within each region reflect distinct cultural histories, such as the influence of Islam and the Arabic language in the north, the incredible linguistic diversity throughout the west, and the presence of the indigenous Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in the south and the Pygmies in Central Africa.
