Hey guys. I've always noticed that Japanese and African languages sounded very similar. I put this video together discussing it because I've always found it very interesting. Let me know your thoughts please!

East African here.

No, there isn't. Most of West African language are parts of Niger-Congo super family, while Japanese language belongs to totally distinct super family.

And how can you compare a single language(Japanese) to many hundreds of West African language?

Did you even watch the video? I never said they were in the same family. I just pointed out the similarities. Also Japanese does not belong to a "super family" because it's a language isolate. It's not related to any East Asian language.
