Love it. It would be great to see the countries too, but this is still lots of fun. I took as semester of Kirundi (what they're calling Rundi) in college. Cool language.

Excellent game, but tricky.

Sources for this information included the Languages of Africa article at Wikipedia, and the linked articles on each major language family, including this map of the Niger-Congo languages.
Detail checks were done with the language maps of indivdual countries at ethnologue.com
Notify me of dot misplacements, major languages excluded, or included languages spoken by fewer than 100,000 - unless the predominate language spoken over a large area.
Another African language game here, but with fewer languages, isAfrican Languages and Families by tickman.
