I will never understand why people fight nearly all the time to prove that they are bigger or higher because they are either, ' African, American, European or from wherever else.' Language is just a means of communication, not something that marks greatness. We are all human for crying out loud. We should be proud to be human and alive. Whenever we put the barricade and separation depending on the continent that the ancestors settled in, it just creates more separation between us. Let us unite as humans.

Why do people keep saying tribes, not all Africans are tribal. I don’t know why Africa is the only continent that is labeled as completely tribal. It would’ve been more accurate to say “ethnic groups”. The Akan, Yoruba, Bini & Hausa for example had large kingdoms (a few queendoms) & expansive empires in their pre-colonial histories. Kumasi the capital of the Ashanti Empire, the Oyo Empire, the Kingdom of Benin, Hausa City States etc etc etc

Swahili has the advantage of being adapted in some countries as official language and hence may have more speakers than Hausa. But Hausa has the highest number of indigenous speakers than any language in Africa

@georgembugua1882 Год назад

You could be right BUT the real use of a language is to communicate; the more people you can reach outside an indigenous (mother-tongue) the greater your advantage in communication (as well as business). There are 46 native language speakers (mother-tongue) in Kenya alone who can somewhat communicate in Kiswahili as well, making a wider market for trade.

@yusufi.gwanda6903 Год назад

@@georgembugua1882 Great! But in a single state in northern part of Nigeria you may have more than 100 different tribes all of whom communicate perfectly in Hausa. The problem that faces Hausa is that there are some few strong ethnic groups in Nigeria that will rather go to war than allow Hausa to be adopted as official language in the country despite its numerical strength and other advantages it has

@ugok9268 Год назад

@Yusuf I. Gwanda In the light of the killings and madness going on in Nigeria today, do you blame those ethnic groups that would not want Hausa language imposed on them? As an Igbo person, I can honestly say that Hausa is a beautiful ethnic group as well as a language. But in my opinion, the language and its associated identity have been hijacked by forces, the majority of whom are not even indigenous Hausas, to bend Nigeria to their born-to-rule goals. You might disagree, and that's fine, but try asking other non Hausa speakers in Nigeria, and they would tell you exactly what I just wrote. I know too many Igbos who speak Hausa and they love it every single day. I'm fairly certain that if we get a Nigeria with good structure, minimal tensions and killings, and zero born-to-rule agenda, many Nigerians won't care if Hausa is dominant or not.

@yusufi.gwanda6903 Год назад

@@ugok9268 The concert of born-to-rule is an imaginary defeatist idea created by some lazy folks who prefer to use blackmail and violent antics rather than political persuasions to clinch power. If Hausa people really nurse the notion of born-to-rule, no single ethnic group will ever rule Nigeria as far as democracy is in place cuz they’ve the numerical strength to win any election.

I always dont agree of the idea that only 15millions people speak Kiswahili as first language - Tanzania alone that is not true - even someone like me from burundi where we have our native language, I actually speak Kiswahili more than Kirundi, basically I speak Kiswahili as first language because I am from the lake tanganyika shore areas which most people in Burundi and DR Congo speak Swahili. Some numbers dont add up for Arabic as well - for instance, the population of Egypt is little of 100million aprox 101million and surely at least 90% speak Arabic as first language, Algeria has bout 45million and Morocco about 35mil etc that is already more than 150million of Arabic speakers, so it is not 150million people who speak as Arabic as first language I would say it is close to 200 or more considering Sudan has about 44million people too - we havent mention Tunesia, Libya and Mauritania. Soon, once we have our Swahili nation - Federation of East African nations, Kiswahili will over take French and possibly English.

The Fulani tribe are one of the largest ethnic groups and tribes in Africa, with over 40 million people. They live mainly in Western African nations such as Nigeria, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon, Senegal and Chad. They have their own language known as Fula. Their origins are unclear but there are many theories as to where they originated. The oral traditions of the Fulani states that they started from what is now present day Jordan. What we do know for sure is that by the 5th century, they were in West Africa. The earliest evidence we have from archaeological digs points to them starting around 6th century BC at the latest. They are one of the few Africa tribes to adopt Islam, with 98% of the Fulani being Muslim. Prominent Fulani include the first President of Cameroon, Ahmadou Ahidjo, and Major General Mohammadu Buhari, the current President of Nigeria.

Lake Victoria is not a lake in Europe but Africa. So the name Swahili may have been given by Arab traders to the speakers of the language but does not denote that it's a language of Arabic origin. Swahili is pure Bantu with Bantu morphology, only borrowed a few words from Arabic but still have alternative original Bantu words. English_ Kiswahili_ Kigiryama(KenyaCoast) One _Moja/Mosi _Mwenga/Mòsi Two _Mbili _Mbiri Three _Tatu _Tàhu Four. _ Nne. _Ne Five. _Tano. _Tsano Eight. _Nane. _Nàne Nine. _Tisa/Kenda. _Chenda Ten. _Kumi. _ Kumi Twenty. _Ishirini/ _ Mirongo miri Miongo miwili Thirty. _Thelathini/. _ Mirongo mihahu Miongo mitatu In essence if you speak Swahili you can get upto 60% of most Bantu languages but can hardly get 10% of Arabic!

If you add up the total speakers of pidgin English.. it will likely outnumbers other native languages spoken. Although pidgin is a blend of several other languages plus the normal English.. it's a major language spoken in Africa even without proper written script. Do the math, it has more speakers than the other languages.

Thanks. It is a good start to mention African languages. When it comes to Amharic language of Ethiopia, you need to research a bit more. In fact it is spoken by 60 to 70 million people. It has one of the oldest alphabets in the world and is the only language in Africa that uses its own alphabet and number systems. Like "Latin" is the dead language of most European languages, "Geez" is the dead language from which Amharic was derived. Volumes of books written in Geez that include knowledge vault of astrology, medicine, religion,, etc., including the original translation of the book of Enok are archived in Ethiopia for thousands of years. Africa should be proud of the Amharic language and its old, unique and indigenous alphabet " አማርኛ" and unique number system " ፩፪፫፬፭፮፯፰፱፲ , unique calendar and different, but logical way of counting hours. Everything is unique and indigenous. Cheers!

Berber is the original language of North Africa and many other countries. Arabic took place after Arabs from Asia arrived. The reason Arabic seems to foreign people more popular in these areas than berber is that it is the language in which the holy Quraan is written and most of people in these countries are Muslims, they pray in arabic and study in it. Berber people are very friendly and open, they live mostly in countrysides, a lot of them still have old and traditionally made houses, they maintain traditional food, when you say berber you say very rich culture. Berber is also known as Tamazight/ Tachlhit (language) which has its own historical alphabet called Tifinagh. Berber people are called Imazighn/Ichlhiyn. * "how are you" in Tachlhit is "manzakin" or "mankan tgit" * "thanks" = "tanmirt" ... If anyone wants some further information about this, if this berber / amazigh culture seems interesting to you or if you wanna learn some words and terms just for fun or curiosity, please feel free to ask me, I will share anything with you, with pleasure and happiness. I don't know if I am allowed to put my email or any contact info here, so I'm gonna skip it for this moment. Be Kind ❤️
