Best Answer

It depends on how an "ethnic group" is defined.

But if use of a common first language is an adequate substitute:

1: About 175 million mainly North Africans speak some form of Arabic

2: About 45-52 million East Africans speak OROMO

3: About 25-30 million East Africans speak SOMALİ

The remainder of Africans speak less widespread languages.
