                                                                          the continent of Africa. This

            Past Invasions of Africa



            Africa was one of the continents

            that faced many invading

            attacks. This transferred some of

            the invaders’ cultures and

            languages to the continent.

            Give examples of languages


            spoken in Africa today that can

            be a result of European past

            control over the continent.
