The state of common names

Zulu 28, Xhosa 42 and Setswana 33 from Southern Africa. Oh and Afrikaans 16 (a young language)

From my ignorance I cannot pick up other African languages, but most are from Europe (and cosmopolitan English ((French and Spanish too?)) is everywhere, ‘Esperanto’ on iNat)

I would guess some of the New lexicons are African?

I have a copypasta - but seldom get a chance to use it

Please add your local common name to iNat
