According to quora users it’s due to proximity a little

Why are Asian and certain West African languages so similar?

Answer (1 of 3): There does exist a similarity between East/Southeast Asian languages and West African ones. Most of the languages in those places are tonal. And that might have something to do with genetics. Correlations exist between language tonality and gene frequencies of different allele...
