The proportions of various human Y-DNA haplogroups vary significantly from one ethnic or language group to another in Africa.

Data in the table below are based on genetic research. The second column designates linguistic affiliation of the sampled population (Semitic, Nilo-Saharan, Niger-Congo, etc.), the third column gives the total sample size studied, and the other columns indicate the percentage observed of particular haplogroups.

Notes

1. Tanzania: Turu, Mbugwe, Wairak, Sukuma.
2. South Africa: Sotho–Tswana, Xhosa, Zulu.
3. Burkina Faso ethnic groups: Mossi, Rimaibe, Fulbe.
4. Adamawa Cameroon: Fali, Tali, mixed.
5. Chadic Cameroon: Ouldeme, Daba, mixed.
6. Southern Cameroon: Bamileke, Ewondo, Bakaka.
7. RDC: Nande, Hema.
8. Ghana: Ewe, Ga, Fante.
9. Calculated by averaging the haplogroup frequencies of the IG-C (Calabar), IG-E (Enugu) and IG-N (Nenwe) Igbo samples (see Table 1) in Table 4.
10. Khoisan: !Kung/Sekele, Tsumkwe San, Dama, Nama.
11. Khoisan from South Africa: Khwe, !Kung, and mixed.
12. Niger–Congo from: Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Ghana, Cameroon, CAR, DRC, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
13. Nilo-Saharan: Alur, Mbuti (R.D.Congo), Massai, Luo (Kenya). Clade was exclusively carried by the Maasai amongst the Nilo-Saharan speakers - Appendix A
14. Nilo-Saharan: 14 populations from R.D.Congo, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania and Cameroon
15. Pygmies: Baka, Bakola.
16. Northern Sudan: Gaalien, Meseria, Arakien.
17. South Sudan: Dinka, Shilluk, Nuer.
18. Western Sudan: Fur, Masalit, Borgu. Clade introduced from North Africa. High frequencies likely due to a population bottleneck.
19. Tgor: Tuareg from Burkina Faso, around the village of Gorom-Gorom.
20. Tgos: Tuareg from Mali, near Gossi.
21. Ttan: Tuareg from Niger, in the vicinity of Tanut.
