dokay sounds good. Not sure about Ethiopian though. It is it sensible to have an cultural group like byzantine for that?
What do you mean with that? How "like Byzantine"?
A group that is not linguistic but based on cultural similarity. So Ethiopian group to unite these disparate cultures?
Ah I see. Which ones would that encompass? And idk yet...
Hmm I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habesha_peoples So you are actually right, there is some sort of broader group defined which includes more than just Amhara and linguistically related cultures. However, the main culture(s) grouped together that are not already part of South Semitic would be just "Agaw" which I had not suggested as an addition, as well es even smaller ones. And possibly Beja; but that would then leave Somali pretty exposed, because that one is only included in Habesha in modern time where it is basically used in the sense of "any people living in Ethiopia, the country" and thus has little to do with culture/ethnicity.
So you want to keep Garamantian?
Meh, tbh I have no opinion on that. I don't think it should be on the map in history, but we could leave it in for shattered world. Or if someone (Paradox?) ever should happen to make another bookmark. But then, we could also easily re-add it later. Yeah I don't mind either way, I'd leave that decision to you.
I am gonna add Sanhaja instead

I am gonna delete it, I am mad at Kaiser.
I have no more suggestions here. I'll get to implementing East African eventually.
I'd keep it like this in East Africa (Central and West you did already):
Cushitic:
Eastern-Sudanic:
South Semitic:
Afar and Mehri were dropped. But the groups remain the same.
@daniloy Is this one done?
So... guess it's your own fault for bringing Africa to my attention. Here we go: I'm simply posting an exhaustive list of my suggestions with new groups and their cultures, and include some source pictures as well as explanations afterwards.
Niger-Congo: -Mande->Mandinka -Soninke -Wolof+ -Sosso+->Susu -Akan#future -Kru#future -Fulani#future -Mende*?#future
Chadic: -Hausa
Cushitic: -Beja+ -Somali -Afar*?
Songhay-Saharan: -Songhay -Kanuri -Zaghawa
Eastern-Sudanic: -Daju -Nubian
South Semitic: -Ethiopian[Amharic] -Soqotri -Tigrayan? -Mehri["South Arabic" variant]*?
Legend: "+" denotes existing Plus culture "*" denotes suggested new culture "?" denotes an undecided candidacy "->" denotes a renaming suggestion "[ ]" denotes an alternate name for clarification, which need not be changed to "#future" denotes cultures planned for inclusion after the map transition, when ore parts of West Africa are included
