Deep dives

Overview of Afrohealy

Afrohealy is a zonal oxlang, influenced by various African languages. It was created by Kumih Apogra from Ghana, who aimed to promote unity and understanding among different African peoples. While Afrohealy has similarities to languages like Swahili, Wallof, and Yoruba, it has its own unique features. The language includes regular vowel patterns, as well as infixes, prefixes, and suffixes. Afrohealy also incorporates elements of Arabic and utilizes question words and relative words for noun and verb agreement. The language lacks noun classes but uses a formal apparatus for adjective agreement. It also features interesting aspects like echo vowels and tense marking on pronouns. Although Afrohealy is not widely known or studied, it serves as a fascinating example of a zonal oxlang influenced by African languages.
