Here's why:
* Africa is a continent: It has many diverse languages and cultures, each with their own word for "sun."
* No single "African language": There isn't a single language spoken across the entire continent.
To find the correct word for "sun" in a specific African language, you'll need to tell me which language you're interested in. For example:
* Swahili: Jua
* Yoruba: Oòrùn
* Zulu: Ilanga
* Amharic: ፀሐይ (Tsehay)
* Arabic (spoken in many parts of North Africa): شمس (Shams)
Let me know which language you want to translate "sun" into, and I'll give you the correct word!
