MtuMsuper: All of you Bantus are similar, you have same ancestors from Nigeria/Cameroon axis. This is why i support a Bantu union in Africa. You guys should try and trace the original proto Bantu language and promote it! (this may end up being the language to unite Africa) as Bantu is the largest subgroup of the Black race. Swahili on it's own will never be able to penetrate Southern Africa, West Africa and West-Central Africa. |

TayserMahiri:Hapo kwenye katiba ndo kasheshe.Naona kaunti ya Nairobi livunjuliwe mbali na wajumuishe wataalam wa fani husika kushughulikia maendeleo, uamuzi na mafanikio na uongozi wake. Nairobi haistahili uongozi wa hali ya 3, hasa ukizingatia ni mji mkuu kanda wetu wa afrika. Tuwe kama Beijing, ambapo kila kitu linashughlikiwa na serikali ya nchi kv Canberra ya Australia, Washington DC ya mareakani au hata Abuja ya hawa mahasidi wetu. Linahitaji ushujaa wa hali ya juu nani, ukitaka itendeke, lakini mate inawadondoka hawa watawala wetu na mifumo yao, hawatakubali. Napendekeza pia miji kama Mombasa na labda Ksm na Nkr waingie kwenye hilo box. Nimeona uongozi wa hali ya 7th katika hayo miji, sio mchezo. 1 Like |

TayserMahiri: Swahili lacks the power to dominate Africa because the countries who speak swahili are not powerful enough. It takes the language of a powerful country to dominate a continent. Swahili has not even finished dominating Uganda. The southern half reject the language and favours Luganda. In Congo, Swahili still has 3 powerful lingua francas (Lingala, Kikongo and Tshiluba) to compete with. Rwanda and Burundi are very small, uninfluential and insignificant countries in Africa. Until there is a powerful, dominating and large country speaking swahili in Africa, the language will never dominate Africa. Arabic is even doing better. |

MtuMsuper: Black Africans are of one race. Asians are not of one race. Mandarin has united 90% of the East Asian race. Hindustani has united 90% of South Asian race. Arabic has united majority of Middle-east/North Africa 50% of Europeans now speak English. No crime if at least 50% of Black Africans speak one language. |

MtuMsuper: Ok, do you know that the different North African countries have their own varieties of Arabic? But, most Tunisians, Moroccans, Algerians, Libyans and Sudanese can understand Egyptian Arabic very well. This is because of the power and regional influence Egypt has. If not for the fact that all Arabic speaking countries agreed to adopt classical arabic as their official languages (due to Arab league brotherhood). Egyptian arabic would have been a regional lingua franca. That's the kind of power am talking of. |

Nowenuse: There is not anywhere in Uganda where they won't understand you if you speak swahili. Its only that they cannot leave their Luganda as it is part of their culture/ nationhood. For that reason, they speak both languages and swahili in particular when dealing with other east africans. Heck even Museveni speaks swahili to the media in Kampala. As soon as the EAC merges, Swahili will be the top dog in Africa. Nigerian pidgin has a long way to be where Swahili is now and honestly, I don't see any comparison between the two given swahili is a full fledged language with its own kamusi (dictionary) and offered in universities around the world. Until Pidgin gets a standard, it will remain a shady language unusable in diplomatic circles. 1 Like |

uzzyfire:pidgin has power in nigeria no doubt. How do you talk to a market woman in Kano or Maiduguri? Do you use pidgin ad well? Believe me when i say i will be well understood as a kenyan if i went to anywhere in Eastern DR Congo , all i would need is a crash course in Congolese Kiswahili. This very day, i heard some Congolese swahili speakers talking, it was just sweet listening to them. We have plenty of congolese in kenyan cities, what can we do about it, we live in an unbalanced world that doesnt obey the laws of entropy , and we have to absorb the imbalance from their end. We might be next. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 7:39pm On Apr 21, 2017 |
uzzyfire: Thank you for the crash course. Then pidgin must be very subjective to the speaker. The words to be used where, and in which order must be a matter of prerogative depending on the mother tongue of the speaker? Or you guys have come up with a universal standard ? |

MtuMsuper: Less than one-quarter of DR Congo speaks Swahili. Lingala is still the dominant language as it dominates Kinshasa (the centre of the govt). In DRC, swahili is co-national with Lingala, Kikongo and Tshiluba. It's not the sole national language. |

Nowenuse:Kiswahili is one of the 4 national languages of Doctor Congo. Fully one half of Congo speaks kiswahili. The dialect there is called Kiungwana. The entire Eastern half of Congo uses it as the common tongue. Sadly, its a ver chaotic place thanks to so many factors. We have no choice but to absorb them . |

TayserMahiri: Pls stop lying. Only Northern Ugandans do favour swahili, i have read articles on why many Southern Ugandans reject swahili claiming that it is a language of military and oppression (due to Idi Amin). They are trying to promote swahili in Southern Uganda, but it's still not working out. Museveni can speak swahili to the country because most northern ugandans understand the language, but the capital is in the south. This is why you hardly see Ugandan artistes singing or acting in swahili. The Buganda people are the largest and most influential ethnic group in the country and until they agree to adopt swahili, the language will never dominate Southern Uganda. Yes i fully agree, if EAC is one country, they have what it takes to 'Swahili-nize' Africa, because their media and influence will be so powerful and they will start taking over other countries, unless Nigeria ups her game and officialize pidgin. In years to come, pidgin will be Nigeria's official language because younger people who favour the language more than older people will gradually get in power. |
