How hard is it to figure out that Africa is a CONTINENT, not a country. And no one speaks "African" because there's no such thing, amirite?

Ya when I'm over seas and I say I'm from south Africa, most people say "oh South America" .... Uh nooo

There is a language called Afrikaans, maybe you're just misunderstanding.

no, cuz it's pronounced "Ah-free-Khans" and people ask, "Do you speak Ah-free-can?"
