Swahili was instituted to you by colonialists and here you are boasting about it?

You should have come up with something unique "made in Tanzania" and not something that had colonial links and roots.

Our languages that you call tribalistic are pure African, that's the difference and like yourselves, we use English because of colonial history.

Swahili was instituted by colonialists and English was instituted by colonialists. You dont have anything to boast about my friend.

If you are great, you should have come up with something unique with no colonial links. Why couldn't you do that?

This is difficult, Swahili was instituted by colonialists for both countries, and there is no copyright on the phrase which was coined in a language adopted by for us by our colonial masters.

English is a colonial language cause they brought it from europe, swahili is never colonial language, people were speaking swahili before colonial period....for them to use it as an administrative language doesnt make swahili their's, only the spread of kiswahili has an influence colony and not the language itself a colonial. they didnt bring it from German they found it here and used it.

your teachers at school must have gone through a very rough time with you, I think this is a reason why, Kenyans cant get along with Kenyans...The luo, kelenji, Kikuyu, kamba and many other tribes due to your poor understanding of national identity....though you must have been taught a lot of tribal issues.

This dual incentive to get on in life, and to have a full stomach, doesn't exist in Tanzania and Uganda. In Uganda, the lazy, the enterprising, the not-so-poor, and the rich all tend to go to bed well fed on something. It is the closest to an equal-dinner-eating-opportunity country in the region.

Nyama choma is among the attraction South Africa is touting ahead of the World Cup.

Which means, it's the colonialist (Germans) had decided what your language of instruction would be and not a typical Tanzanian.

Like, I told you, you need to come up with something unique on your own and not boast about something introduced by colonialists. It's because of them that you use this language, you did not come up with it on your own.

That's why I refer to it as a colonial language due to the colonial links it has.

It was just instituted so that you dont have access to the German language and their way of doing things so that they peacefully exploit you with no agitations that happened in many other colonies.

Therefore, the fact that Tanzania uses Swahili is mainly due to the colonial aspect of it rather than them having achieved something on their own.


I think this is my last point with you.I am tired of explaining the same thing over and over again.

What's really jealous to be about it? We have never been jealous, only showing you we are ahead economically backed by facts.

English is not our national language but one of our two official languages.

My point was, you don't have to boast about something that has colonial roots. In this case there was much colonial involvement into you using Swahili and which you did not seem to recognize.

You should have come up with something new and unique to Tanzania in order to boast like this.

+100 respect Geza's decision to open this thread, he used a Kiswahili term which I last checked is the national language of Tanzania and it is NOT a Kenyan term. This is getting old and let us keep this civil. I don't mind Kenyans visiting the forum only if constructive opinions are given and no bashing of Tanzania
