There isn't one.

Africa has many languages, and always has had many languages.

The dominant language groups are Arabic based in the North, and Bantu based in the rest of Africa. Swahili is an interesting 'pidgin' Bantu, based on both Arabic and Bantu components.

Both Arabic and Bantu were spread by a long process of wars and conquest. Thousands of smaller languages and dialects exist and are to be found scattered across the continent.
