Answer 1

The false statement regarding languages spoken in Africa is: "German is a common language spoken in southern and East Africa."

While German has historical significance in certain areas due to colonialism, it is not considered a common language in those regions today. The other statements about Swahili, Arabic, and French are accurate. Additionally, Spanish is not widely spoken throughout southern Africa, which makes that statement misleading as well, but it is less common than German being described as common.
