Comment on each of the following expression. Kiswahili is the lingua franca of Africa?

This statement is not entirely accurate. While Kiswahili is widely spoken in many countries in East Africa and is recognized as one of the official languages of the African Union, it is not the lingua franca of the entire continent. Africa is a diverse continent with over 2,000 languages spoken, and different regions have their own dominant languages. Kiswahili's popularity and widespread use in East Africa do not necessarily make it the lingua franca of the entire continent.
