Besides there is not one "African language" but rather many different languages on the African continent the answer is the Africaans language spoken in South Africa, Namibia and to a lesser extent in Botswana and Zimbabwe is an Indo-European language. It originates from 17th century Dutch dialects spoken by the mainly-Dutch settlers of what is now South Africa.
