The term has been used since the Civil War and appears in the works of WEB Debois written in the early 20th Century. It also appears in some of the writings of Marcus Garvey. However it was not widely used by writers, newspapers, etc until the middle 1960's.

If you're referring to African languages, all of them originated in various areas of Africa coming from different language family. If you're talking about African American English (AAE)--a variant of American English spoken by some African Americans in parts of the US, mostly in the South, Midwest, and parts of California--it's an interesting mixture of Standard American with various African languages. AAE is actually from the US and originated from slaves on plantations who came from different areas trying to communicate with each other and speak English. On of the fascinating things about it is that it regularizes the Standard American to a large extent as well as specifying between a habitual state and a passing one.
