- W1566294008 abstract "Kiswahili is a language which is better known in the world as Swahili. However, apart from linguists interested in Africa, and general linguists interested in the comparative study of languages, not too many people actually know the origin and structure of the language we call Kiswahili or Swahili today, its extensive literature, and its Pan-African identity. Many people still believe, like the sailors of the 15th to the 19th centuries, that Kiswahili is a kind of mixture of Arabic and African languages. In short, Kiswahili is a kind of pidgin or creole which was born out of trade and intermarriages along the Indian Ocean coast of Africa. This view is, however, far from the linguistic and historical discoveries of today. In fact, exactly one hundred and fifty years ago today, Dr. J. Ludwig Krapf completed the writing of the first ever Kiswahili grammar book in Mombasa. The year was 1845. It took another five years before the book was finally published in Europe. In remembering this important event, we need to re-educate ourselves about the language Kiswahili. In order to do so, we shall concern ourselves with the following themes: 1. The origins of Kiswahili and its speakers; 2. Some salient features of Kiswahili as a Bantu language; 3. The literature of Kiswahili; 4. How Kiswahili got its name, and 5. The spread and use of Kiswahili. We shall not discuss the structure of Kiswahili in any detail, since it requires, in its own right, a separate treatment." @default.
