Best Answer

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.
