Swahili (also called Kiswahili) is a Bantu language. It is the most widely spoken language of sub-Saharan Africa. Swahili is the mother tongue of the Swahili people (or Waswahili) who inhabit several large stretches of the Indian Ocean coastlines from southern Somalia as far south as Mozambique's border region with Tanzania
think of this next time u make little of the language

Carl - you are the wisest geezer i know - I now have something to resite to the teams in my pre safety brief tommorow as thought for the day - before they all depart to the suburbs of Bristol digging up the roads :) :) :) :)


but you would also know that - Swahili has become a lingua franca in much of East Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is now the only African language among official working languages of African Union. Kiswahili is also taught in major universities in the world, and several broadcasting stations such as BBC, Voice of America and Xinhua have Kiswahili programs

well yeah i knew that but i was unsure of the significance to the thread
but now youve mentioned it i can see it is truly important
i really think that it is an undeniable truth that Arab and Persian cultures had the greatest influence on the Swahili culture and the Swahili language.
To demonstrate the contribution of each culture into the Swahili language, take an example of the numbers as they are spoken in Swahili.
"moja" = one, "mbili" = two, "tatu" = three, "nne" = four, "tano" = five, "nane" = eight, "kumi" = ten, are all of Bantu origin.
On the other hand there is "sita" = six, "saba" = seven and "tisa" = nine, that are borrowed from Arabic.
The Arabic word "tisa" actually replaced the Bantu word "kenda" for "nine". In some cases the word "kenda" is still used.
The Swahili words, "chai" = tea, "achari" = pickle, "serikali" = government, "diwani" = councillor, "sheha" = village councillor, are some of the words borrowed from Persian bearing testimony to the older connections with Persian merchants.

The Swahili language also absorbed words from the Portuguese who controlled the Swahili coastal towns (c. 1500-1700AD).
Some of the words that the Swahili language absorbed from the Portuguese include "leso" (handkerchief), "meza" (table), "gereza" (prison), "pesa" ('peso', money), etc. Swahili bull-fighting, still popular on the Pemba island, is also a Portuguese legacy from that period.
The Swahili language also borrowed some words from languages of the later colonial powers on the East African coast - English (British) and German.
Swahilized English words include "baiskeli" (bicycle), "basi" (bus), "penseli" (pencil), "mashine" (machine), "koti" (coat), etc. The Swahilized German words include "shule" for school and "hela" for a German coin.

some food for thought and some useful info too

Surely it's not that cold there yet?

Post by mYZF_750 »

I know where this is going!

Ok, I won't call you surely again.

But really. It couldn't be that cold there yet could it? What brought on this onset of madness? Is it going to be permanent?

If it continues I might be forced to resort to some very drastic measures. That would be 30 Ounces or maybe even 45.

No, I've read enough and here goes.

I desperately need a new set of rings and a gasket set to get me on song again and if sufficient funding for this exercise isn't depositted into my account by the end of the month, then I'll :hijack this thread.

No more crazy stuff and no more threats, I'm deadly serious.

BTW, which encyclopedia are you using and what edition is it?

Mine is never slow and I never have any problems. It's just that when I'm at work I only got a dial up connection and my hair falls out and turns grey/white while I'm waiting

I'm here, I'm just not quite sure I know where here is?
