ArchivesRe: Why no Australian or South African/ Other African Countries
in reply to a message by Australian SandMan
I don't know why Australia does charts for provinces and not for the whole country.
South Africa has eleven official languages, and there is no one predominant language in the country, so it would be very hard to list the most popular names. Most African countries are made up of several ethnic groups, which means that there are different sets of names within one country. Different religions also has an effect, since many African countries contain Christians, Muslims, and animists all living under one nation, so naturally Africans of different religions would use different names.
