Nope, most African languages are useless on a global scale. I do wanna learn some Swahili though. I only know some basic words and phrases, but I'd like to get to the point where I can hold a decent conversation.

Swahili is probably one of the easiest, if not the easiest African language to learn.
No lexical tones, the words are read exactly how they're spelt, consistent and simple grammatical rules, you could probably get the hang of it really well within the space of half a year if you poured all of your time into it.

Much more complex than that of Swahili :manny:
I'm not too familiar with Somali grammar rules but I'm pretty sure Somali is Subject-Object-Verb whereas Swahili is Subject-Verb-Object, making Somali harder to learn for English speakers
