Not only is Africa widely misrepresented and under-represented, but its languages are also struggling. However, there has been some progress. The following is an overview of African language Wikipedias and Wiktionaries. It was compiled by [http://www.greenman.co.za/blog/]. Growth is stead in on the main languages across Africa, but there is a desperate need for more people to get involved in uploading information to their own language wikipedia.
