There are 54 countries and and about 1.11 billion people in Africa. Many factors influence the reason there are so many languages. As in other parts of the world, different countries speak different languages. Many people came to Africa to colonise it, bringing new languages. There are many tribes in Africa, many having their own languages or dialects of languages. For these and many other reasons, many languages have developed in Africa.
