talking of Africa, what do you think of?

disease and slavery was the first two things that popped in my mind.

There is a wonderful priest of Ethiopian/Eritrean origin in the Diocese in which I live who celebrates a Mass for African Catholics every week. I still need to get there, just to experience it. I don't recall which language he uses -- I think he speaks four African dialects. As well as English and Latin.

As a Catholic one understands the Mass in any language.
I have heard it in Vietnamese and Basque

Back before I was confirmed, I went to a Latin Mass and I'd absorbed enough to have about half a clue where I was in the Mass. I would understand so much more of it now.

Isn't Basque pretty much just a dialect of Spanish? That would make it easier for me to understand than Latin.

Basque country is a part of Spain and France.
But it is no dialect, it is a language of its own, not related to any other language on Earth. A mistery! 👍

All the more reason for me to attend a Mass in that mysterious language. 🙂

When I was a youngster, the only thing we cared about Africa were the pictures of big floppy titties in the National Geographic magazines.
Some of them were pretty perky but hardly Playboy quality.
 
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Africa is all of the hippos that people just assume are really happy.

But really aren't as pleasant as people think.
They’re hungry hungry

Tanganyika no longer exists, in name. Tanganyika was its German name but it (as well as Süd-westafrika, Togo, Burundi, Kameroon, and Rwanda were given over to Britain/France as a consequence of German's defeat in WW I. Tanzania and Nambia are two of the modern names.
