African People





Many different group of people live in Africa. Arabs and Berbers live in North Africa. Europeans and Asians, such as Indians, live in the southern part of Africa. Black Africans live in the most of the countries in Africa. These people are members of different tribes. Some of these tribes are the Bantus, Tutsis, Pygmies, Bushmen, and Hottentots.

Africa has many different languages, English, French, and Arabic are spoken in the north. Native African languages such as Zulu, Bantu, and Swahili are spoken by many of the tribes.

Most Africans are farmers. Wheat and barley are grown in the north. Coffee is grown in the western part of Africa. Some Africans hunt, fish, and cut down trees to earn money.
Africa is rich in ore and minerals like gold, copper, and uranium. African countries now are working hard to develop industries.

More and more Africans are moving to large cities such as Cairo, Egypt; Nairobi, Kenya; and Johannesburg, South Africa. One reason is that there are more jobs in the cities
