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.

But then again, I can't claim to be 100% about the Swahili people's genetic makeup.

He built the extensive "Palace of Husuni Kubwa" outside of the city and added a significant extension to the Great "Mosque of Kilwa". This building activity seems to have been inspired by the Sultan's pilgrimage to Mecca, whose great buildings he wished to emulate.

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 would suspect such questions would be referred to them.

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 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.

The Swahili cities were also built by Africans and not Arabs.

Somalis built & founded some Swahili cities before arabs even knew about them. “One of the oldest harbours documented in Southern Africa, medieval Sofala was erected on the edge of a wide estuary formed by the Buzi River (called Rio de Sofala in older maps). The Somali merchants from Mogadishu, the capital of the Ajuran Empire, established a colony in Mozambique to extract gold from the mines in Sofala.

Arab scholars including ibn khaldoun, Ibn Saeed Maghribi, ibn Batuta that visited east Africa distinguished the Somali coast from the swahili coast. The Arabs called the Somali coast as Eastern Berber (Berberul mashriq) to differentiate them from the northern Berbers in north Africa. They called the Swahili coast as Zanj. To this day the Arabs call Somali livestock that's exported to the Arabs like the goats for instance ganamul Berber (the goats of the Berbers in Arabic). And the name Berber (meaning tall dark and slim people) was given to Somalis by Greek mappers like Strabo who visited the land and witnessed the frankincense trade way before Islam but Somalis never took the name because in the Somali culture you're not animal to be branded by someone else. To this day the Italian Catholic church still buys the frankincense that's grown in East and north of Somalia. So no the Somali coast was not considered swahili however Swahili merchants as well as Arab, Persian and Indian came for trade.
