Europeans Can't Name One African Language. Can you?

Interesting video asking Europeans on the street if they can name ONE African language. Even a girl who is part Nigerian couldn't name a language and didn't know her own father's Nigerian ethnicity. Only one black woman could successfully name a language, but failed to know where it's spoken.

There are 2,000 local African languages! Are you able to name one? Don't Google!

Update:
The U.S. public school system is considered notoriously mediocre. It's surprising to see that the European educational system may not be any better.

Yes, because it's run by leftist morons like you.

What language has "simba" for "lion"?

I was at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and they had this exhibit that was a "naturalist's hut" or something, outfitted with what a 19th Century explorer might have used, telescopes, nets, canteens, etc. They had this cool poster with illustrations of lions, giraffes, etc. with the names in the African language. I asked the attendant if they had that poster in the gift shop, because I wanted to buy it. No dice.
