Yes, that's interesting. I once read that the linguistic diversity in southern Africa is greater than any in any part of Europe or Asia. I guess the African continent was difficult for anyone to conquer that way, whereas large parts of the Eurasian continent allowed for a lot of movement.

Indeed, Uganda alone already has at least 43 languages on it's own which is absolutely crazy. And yes, I guess our bad geography can be considered both a curse and a blessing.
