African culture

African culture is characterized by a fully integrated system of social values informed through historical processes that support its social organization.

The most interesting feature of African culture is the almost homogeneous nature of the pseudo-African language, in which the non-verbal elements of communication are used to change the meaning and convey emotion. Like Southern Europeans, Africans are more talkative, warm, and committed.

This pseudo-African language is rooted in a set of ancient historical relationships and spiritual beliefs embedded in the flourishing generation, language, politics, as well as the simultaneous tragedies of slavery and colonialism in Africa.

The quasi-linguistic dialects of the Africans, and the fundamental social breaths, are easily recognizable and rooted in a strong and deeply entrenched ancient philosophy that requires their continuity and excellence even in the face of widespread social and political geopolitical shifts resulting from demographic change.
