Swahili is now an official U. N. language. It's a beautiful language, extremely rich in vocabulary. In it, is a mixture of languages spoken by all early settlers/traders in E. Africa like English, Portuguese, Hindu , Arabic and local dialects. Hollywood movies pick Swahili words and songs in most scripts like The Lion King,: Simba - Lion, Hakuna Matata - no worries/problem, Jambo which is sf Hujambo(singular) or Hamjambo(plural) - Hello.

Once again, excellent work. Bless you. This video was like reliving my primary class 6 history lessons in 1972 only in much more African-oriented detail. The take home from those lessons to little boys and girls was that the east African coast was all about Arabs such as Seyyid Said and Seyiid Bargash, the Portuguese and the British. Great the Portuguese are left out of the narration altogether. Some of us learnt latter that this was not so and this video seals the story with authority. Now, Kiswahili, currently with probably 250 m speakers from South Sudan to Angola, is destined to be the official language of Africa - Wont those Waswahili feel proud to have bequeathed us such a gift? We are grateful to them and will tell them as much on my next trip to Mvita. Asante sana. (No need for translation) Baraka nyingi (test question for translation - 5 marks)

Certainly, Bw. Njagi, there is need to avoid what might translate as chauvinism However, there are many reasons for Kiswahili being a front-runner with reasons such as the three given below: .1 One of the proponents is Julius Malema and Kiswahili is about to enter the South African school curriculum. .2 In terms of the number of speakers, Hausa, Fon and Kiswahili are the leading African languages. The first two are associated with large nations, ethnicities if you will, but Kiswahili has risen to the level of a lingua franca understood my more than 200 African nations. .3 It is already the only African official language in the African Union.

I just discovered your channel. I've watched a few of your videos and it's amazing how much time and effort you put into your research. I was wondering if you could do a video about Rwanda/Burundi. I know you've already done a video about the Tutsis of Rwanda. But I would greatly appreciate it if you could do another video focusing more on the cultural aspects of the two countries and any similarities they may have with other countries in Africa. I'm from Rwanda myself and I sometimes wonder if there are traditions we share with others (other than Burundians). For example, in our culture, the concept of a family name isn't the norm and people in the family usually all have their own unique first AND last names. I have a Sudanese friend whose family seems to follow that tradition. Though, when I asked her about it once, she didn't seem up to discuss it (the kids all definitely have the same dad, so maybe I just caught her on a bad day) and I never got another opportunity to ask her again. Anyways, please do the video if you have the time and are able to. Thanks for all your hard work!

I have noticed that many Rwandans don't speak it. When they do, it's usually the older generations. I don't know why it's not more widespread in Rwanda, compared to Burundi for example

Swahili language is a derivative of the upper and lower pokomo people, who live close to the bajuni, an older bantu population. They boated to the lamu archipelago and created the first swahili cities.

Love the history & musik.

Please teach us about The Congo. Too many people know too little about one of the largest countries. Myself included.

Proud to b one..watching from Uganda

I love these documentaries. We were never taught about the diversity of cultures in Africa, when I was at school. The western conception can be very limited and stereotypical.

y’all they built some buildings, like the ones in kilwa kisiwani entirely out of coral and i think that is incredible.

brother...i love your videos. 🎥 that's coming from a proud yoruba! 😁

Swahili being the biggest and fastest growing African lingua franca is like 95% original African coastal language and only 5% foreign influence. People of other cultures i:e Arabs and the rest, who had interaction with the coastal parts and had a little bit of their language assimilate into Swahili like to over estimate their importance and influence of their culture into Swahili.

KUSHUM PENG , that will be a good idea. But then it’s not the most popular African language. Fula language which is nomadic is the most popular. It ran across several countries and the next after the foreign languages of the colonisers is Yoruba. Swahili is popular in East Africa,but not North or West Africa or South. Each region has its own popular languages.

Congolese are not swahilis. They learned swahili when they were taken to coast as slaves. When slavery was abolished those who returned back to congo called themselves wangwana meaning waungwana (not slaves anymore) there swahili is total different from cost swahili they are just using some words of swahili.

Swahili coast and Kongo coast had socio economic interactions for years. Doing trades and interactions. Similarities are profound between these languages

Thanks for the video. To my Swahili brothers please confirm: "mshenzi" is a derogatory word that means "stupid", not slave. Mtumwa is servant. What's the Swahili name for slave?

Bro I'm still waiting for my History, The Mandingos🙏🏾

I am from Nairobi Kenya. Very informative Video. We run a site called African Explorer Magazine. We did piece on Swahili History. If you get time pass through and get to learn more about Africa. Maybe HomeTeam can get a few ideas on stories he can do on his channel.

I speak in tongues of Swahili and Hausa Much love namaste 🙏
