Migration in the post classical age spread language of different cultures around the world. When merchants traveled to different countries in order to carry out trades and business their language would sometimes be diffused into these other places which encouraged some people to become bilingual. One of the biggest linguistic effects of migration occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Bantu people over the course of hundreds of years migrated across the majority of Central and Southern Africa and while they were doing this they left traces of their Bantu language behind them. This made many languages in this region of Africa to stem off of the Bantu language and still today you can see the effects the Bantu language had on Sub-Saharan Africa’s…

Wherever Muslims would go they would bring culture and showed love and peace, this caught people's eyes and made them more intrigued about Islam.

Which shows that the Islamic faith did indeed spread into various regions, along with the trade of merchandise. Ibn Battuta travels mid-thirteenth century as a religious seeker with the company of merchants’ journeying to Mali, an Islamic powered country governed by Mansa Sulayman. Being in Walata, Battuta is shocked to see that men and women can have affairs without anyone getting jealous, and are shameless of this practice. The women are more respectable than men, and do not veil themselves. Now in Mali, people praise and obey their ruler, who shows no mercy to anyone when it comes to bringing justice.…

Also, it is claimed that in Mali the traditional beliefs and Islam exist peaceful. This is a striking difference from the Christian Spanish Empire. What I find interesting is that the history of Mali, specifically in relation to religion, is greatly different from Europe.…
The Accomplishments of African Civilizations For centuries, historians have denied the accomplishment of African Civilizations.

The advances of the African Kingdoms are shown through their successful trade routes, ordered government, wealth, Education system, individual morals and art.…
