Xiin Baashi..if you are thinking that Jr Kenyatta will be any different that the rest of the bourgeoisies you are in for a shock. But soon or later...ethnic clashes will result if Kenya continues w/its current path (focussed on "periphery" threats/diplomacy like the Mission in Somalia..expanding west's neo-imperio/humanitarianism).

But as long the FG is busy overseeing & controlling “emerging threats” -regional polarizations from past convulsions (I am not against the federal govt , i feel that their priorities aren’t in order), the European companies & their allies will milk this project & the Somali resources dry until its too late & then another regional instability will reign from both sides, the Ethiopian/Oromo invasion from west & the laan’gare (limping so called Kenyan govt) & its European allies form the East & the seas.

Safferz;935898 wrote: The people who talk about "Swahili dominance" are usually islamophobes from the interior who want to rewrite east African history and continue their marginalization of those who identify as Swahili. Language use (and spread) *everywhere* has always been historically linked to governance and trade/commerce, people and communities adopt and abandon languages when they feel it can provide more for them in terms of access to power or wealth. If indeed Swahili is just another language...how come it hasn't been abondoned after its use (E. African trade)..??? & how do you term the emergence of the spanish language in S. America??

***caution..I have no research background nor have studied swahili except in Madrasa & in school (Kenya, be it GHC classes, Geography, History & Civics classes lol..)..or otherwise reading... Its the lingua franca like Spanish in S. America, spread through E. AFrican trade routes & originated from inter-marriage btwn mostly Arabs/persian speaking dialects w/the bantu inhabitants of coastal East Africa (remember swahili has many languages in IT, portuguese, german, persian, Urdu, etc). Swahili's were colonized & enslaved (I refute to say that it preceded PRE_COLONIAL). Infact, the colonization of E. Africa & E-African slave trade was gradual & at times punctuated (periods of high volumes & low volumes of slave trade) that lasted many centuries (unlike the Trans-atlantic slave trade), than the SCRAMBLE for Africa.

Coofle..usimsikize (hadhageysan) NGONGE..ye (instead of me saying YEYE...i condensed it to YE, ***explanation below) majnuni (majnoon, waalan ) kichaa (waalni ) nafkiri (uu maleyn) siku hizi =(beryahaan). Waxaan ku iri, NGONGE ha dhageysan...beryahaan wuu waashe ***(this is more of Malika's lingo, & those of coastal Kenya i.e Mombasa, malindi, lamu & the rest of coastal zanzi & Tanzania). They tend to condense words whereas in Mainland (inland) Kenya we use the whole word. For example. YE (YEYE) =Isaga/ayada Mie (Mi) (MIMI)=aniga They (coastal that is) as well tend to use more fasihi swahili (Fasiix or as swahili's in inland kenya say SANIFU). N'ways here is a few words to your collections:- Ujambo mpwendwa (see tahay gacaliso )-how are you my dear ? U hali gani (xaaladada?? meaning xaaladada ka waran ?) If you are the receiver of greetings? you should reply, safi (saafi, fican/good)? ***the most common words are: Sawa (haye), Safi or Safi kabisa (could be used to reply after greetings..), twende (let's go)., badaye/tutaonana badaye (later/we'll see each other later), Leo (today). Coofle..utafurahiya kujifunza kiswahili ni lugha safi kabisa (you'll be happy to learn swahili, its a good language)...***the words safi has been used here in the context to mean good, however, it could be translated differently depending on the contexts. ***by the way..some words are derived from portuguese, germany, Persian languages.
