In 1982, the program of African languages, studies, and literature was established by Ministerial Decision No. (122). The program was initiated as one of the four scientific programs, which were English, French, Spanish, and then African languages. It was part of the Faculty of Languages and translation, which at that time was affiliated with the Faculty of Languages and graduate studies. The aim of creating this program was to serve Islam and promote it on the African continent.
Later, the college was transformed into an independent college, named the College of Languages and translation, by the Council of Ministers Resolution No. 296 of 2021.
This program has been at the forefront of scientific programs, introducing the study of African languages and literature not only in Libya but also in all Arab countries. Initially, the program offered two African languages, Swahili and Zulu. Swahili was the primary language and is mainly spoken in East African countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, eastern Zaire, southern Somalia, northern Malawi, northern Mozambique, Rwanda, and Burundi. It has around 100 million speakers worldwide.
Zulu was offered as a sub-language and is spoken by about five million people in South Africa. However, in the 1980s, the Hausa language replaced Zulu as a priority in the program.
Hausa is the language of Muslims in West Africa and is the second-largest common language south of the Sahara Desert. It is mainly spoken in northern Nigeria, its neighboring regions, especially southern Niger, and southwestern Chad. The number of people who speak Hausa is estimated to be more than thirty million.
