Originally published in 1969, this book examines the factors which at different historical periods led people to use one language (Swahili) rather than another, or within a given period, to use a particular language in one set of circumstances. The national language of Tanzania and much of East Africa, Swahili is unique among African languages in its verse literature, which dates back to the 18th Century and was written in the Arabic script. This book traces the remarkable expansion of Swahili, which was linked with the expansion of trace, missionary activities and the establishment of Colonial administrations and the development of education.

Kiswahili is the fastest growing African language. The author, Professor of Kiswahili at Egerton University, here describes this growth and examines Kiswahili as an alternative to European languages in East Africa and as an international language for Africa. He covers the controversial theories of the origination and development of Kiswahili, the effects of the use of English as the language of instruction in Kenya and the status of Kiswahili in trade, religion and politics in East and Central Africa, within a continental context. A country analysis of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda reveals the spread of Kiswahili as a mother tongue and second language; its use in creative writing and music, and its status in language policies. The argument for Kiswahili as the language of Africa is also discussed.

This book is about Kiswahili as a national language of a United Africa. Kiswahili has played a bigger role in supplementing East Africa allegiances and common commercial culture owing to Islamization and Christianization. The language was first associated with the legacy of the mosque before it was later mobilized to serve the purposes of the Christian church, especially in countries that would become Kenya and Tanzania. The coastal regions of these countries were heavily Islamized centuries before the arrival of Europeans. The language facilitated social intercourse among Muslims from different ethnic groups and regions and gradually built up a comprehensive culture of its own over and above the normal function of languages as mere medium of communication. Consequently, Swahili culture was born with its own touch of Islam, its own worldview, its own dress culture, its own cuisine, its own ethics, and aesthetics. Most significantly, Swahili culture did not become a parochial form of ethnicity because it was a child of multiple heritages combining and synthesizing Africa, India, Portuguese, and Arab cultural elements. As a machine of communication among many cultures, ethnicities, and traditions, Kiswahili contributed to the expanding network of affiliations of the peoples of East Africa and Central Africa. By the time European missionaries arrived, Kiswahili had substantially become the only language of choice to propagate the new religion. The vocabulary of monotheism, inherent in both Islam and Christianity, had already been established and embedded in the Kiswahili language and culture. This role helped Kiswahili to broaden the social and human horizons of East and Central African nationalities beyond the confines of their ancestral identities. At independence, Kiswahili provided a consciousness of unity among the East African populations. Nationalism in East Africa was not a fight against racism but rather a consciousness of a race that shared a history of exploitation and domination by Europeans. Nationalism was more of a case of politicized race-consciousness than a case of racism against Europeans. Kiswahili played an important role in this new phenomenon of African nationalism and resistance to colonial imperialism and colonialism. Therefore, Kiswahili should and must play a role in the redefinition and reconstruction of Africa's unity, identity, and liberation. At a time when Africa is at the process of redefining its role within itself and to the outside world, it is only befitting that Kiswahili should be adapted and evoked to forge the most needed unity within an ethnically and linguistically complex continent. The aim of this book is twofold: to offer a justification for Kiswahili as the official language for a federated Africa and to render the teaching and study of classical Kiswahili simple and interesting. With these ideas in mind, I have set my hand to the task of presenting a manual that will enable anyone interested in Africa and her peoples to learn a language that will contribute to a greater understanding of the aforementioned as well as open up a door of opportunity and communication that will broaden the learner's horizons in every area of life. May you find a new and exciting world unfold before you as you begin this task of language learning. I Invite you to enter the world of an emerging continent.

Swahili was once an obscure dialect of an East African Bantu language. Today more than one hundred million people use it: Swahili is to eastern and central Africa what English is to the world. From its embrace in the 1960s by the black freedom movement in the United States to its adoption in 2004 as the African Union’s official language, Swahili has become a truly international language. How this came about and why, of all African languages, it happened only to Swahili is the story that John M. Mugane sets out to explore. The remarkable adaptability of Swahili has allowed Africans and others to tailor the language to their needs, extending its influence far beyond its place of origin. Its symbolic as well as its practical power has evolved from its status as a language of contact among diverse cultures, even as it embodies the history of communities in eastern and central Africa and throughout the Indian Ocean world. The Story of Swahili calls for a reevaluation of the widespread assumption that cultural superiority, military conquest, and economic dominance determine a language’s prosperity. This sweeping history gives a vibrant, living language its due, highlighting its nimbleness from its beginnings to its place today in the fast-changing world of global communication.
