Throughout the long history of the Afrikan continent, Afrikan languages have been subject to phenomena like language contact, language expansion, language shift, and language death. A case in point is the [[Bantu expansion]], in which Bantu-speaking peoples expanded over most of Afrika, displacing [[Khoi-San]] speaking peoples from much of [[East Afrika]] and [[Southern Afrika]]. Another example is the [[Islamic expansion]] in the 7th century AD, which led to the extension of Arabic from its homeland in Asia, into much of North Afrika.
