Final clue, then I ask an easier question.
This language is a dialect continuum spoken by approximately 4 million people in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, as well as small minorities in southern Libya and by a diaspora in Sudan.

Nowhere near, and I admit that question was far too hard!
It was Kanuri.
Okay, the easier question is: English is obviously the language with the most articles, but which language has the second most articles?

First person I asked was incredulous that I didn't get Holly Valance (whoever she is.. haven't watched it in ages).
Incidentally, I actually own a copy of the Stefan Dennis single "Don't it make you feel good". that should be worth a few bob in a couple of years time. Stefan Dennis also recently played an American doctor in the Scottish soap "River City", so he certainly gets about.

all yours YE. holly valance is the one with the pot belly from the reverse charges advert. for some reason she is considered something of a sex thimble.
