There are 128 tribes in Tanzania and not 200. About 98% of Tanzanians speak Swahili. Majority recognize it as their first language. Mwalimu Nyerere promoted unity of Tanzanians through Swahili. He influenced other countries around Tanzania to speak Swahili including Kenya. The word for the Swahili language is Kiswahili. Sawahili is the plural for the Arabic word sahil, which means ‘coast’. Ki- at the beginning means coastal language. This is because Swahili arose as a trade language along the coastline originated in Unguja, Zanzibar, Tanzania and is also best spoken along the coast. In 1928, the Zanzibar dialect called Kiunguja was chosen as the standard Swahili in Kamusi (Swahili Dictionary). Swahili is the lingua franca (a common language adopted between two non-native speakers) of the East African Union and is the official language of Tanzania (official language), Kenya (official language next to English) and of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is also widely spoken in Uganda and, in smaller numbers, in Burundi, Rwanda, North Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique.

Dont mislead the audience, there is no place called chula chovae, mudoa kudai it is made up place they never existed and never will, stop lying we know you adoomeey.
@@evadtrent5607 if you can show the evidence of that I'll believe you. However from my knowledge there's no writing that has stated the EXACT birthplace of Swahili apart from it being the east African coast. To pinpoint an exact location doesn't make sense as the language was created as as mixture of various bantu languages. I could argue it might be kilwa as that's the where the earliest written documents in Swahili can be found but again that's redundant because the first to write doesn't mean the first to speak. Let's just agree it's a coastal language
Kiswahili did not start at Lamu, no. May be when it came in Kenya then it started at Lamu before spreading into the rest of Kenya. KiSwahili was here in the coast of Tanzania before Arabs set foot, here. It later borrowed words from Arabic, English, etc, due to trade, but Kiswahili is a Bantu language, with 90%+ words being purely bantu, not 60% as some say, it is as old as the bantus themselves.
Some Bantu minority communities in south islands of Somalia close to Zanzibar speak some Swahili dialects thats only spoken in Somalia and the famous one is the Bajuni dialect, so yeah they exist but they are so small that they are in just hundreds not by thousands so yeah if we see it metaphorically.
@@hasanitto There are thousands of Somalis from Somalia in Kenya and they all speaks Swahili and that makes Swahili to be accepted in Somali. In short, Somalis (from Somalia) speaks Swahili

swahili try to ditch european languages ....but there is a flaw why the writing is in latin....i suggest adopting tifinagh writing system since it is African alphabets.
Nobody knows the exact origin of swahili...so it may be Lamu,Zanzibar,Mombasa or even Mogadishu. In other words Swahili was born in East African coast.They may say Lamu because Lamu is the oldest town in East African coast.Which definitely habitted Arabs who interacted with the bantu people,Hence influencing the development of Swahili.

So much misinformation in this video. Kiswahili did not originate in KENYA. SMDH. Kiswahili originated in Tanzania. Just like MT. Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania but a Kenyan will lie and tell you the opposite. Kenyans first have to learn to speak Kiswahili before educating anyone about it. Less than 25% of Kenyans are even fluent

@@ericonsongo6198 maybe Kenyan education has changed but I know that in many public schools we used to get punished if we speak our native languages or Kiswahili. We also used to have four days of speaking English and one of speaking Kiswahili, because of these many had a very negative attitude towards our languages including many Kenyan parents who only demand English to be spoken in the house
@@ericonsongo6198 that has nothing to do with not worshipping it, there's a difference between promoting it to be learned for opportunity vs favoring it and loving it as the main language within your country
Please convert this to Swahili, (Come to me all who are tired from carrying heavy loads and I will give you rest.) Please I will prefer it in a voice note so I can listen to it clearly.
Africans should have Swahili as the language, stop wearing western uniforms, weddings gowns, burrial etc. we need to bring back out own African touch. Swahili hoyee!!!
Right since when Somalis speak swahili we speak Somali language in all Somali territories,the Somalis in NFD northern kenya their first language is Somali then ofcourse swahili ro stay in contact with the rest of kenyan!
You probably might have it introduced in your schools sooner or later. Your President toured Tanzania last year and was asked to consider introducing Swahili. That tour came after Tz opened an Embassy in Namibia!
The rest you're correct EXCEPT on the origin of Kiswahili language being Lamu, Kenya, that's a Big Lie! Sorry to tell you this truth publically. Otherwise, you're unarguably beautiful and a good presenter, congrats! Swahili traces its origin along the coastal areas along the Indian Ocean particularly along Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Tanga, Mafia, and Bagamoyo in Tanzania and Lamu and Mombasa in Kenya.
Watanzania wanajivunia sana kuhusu kiswahili ila wasilolijua ni kuwa kiswahili hakikuanza Tanzania kilianza lamu kenya, ziko sababu zaidi 3 lkn ntakupatia moja ulifikirie, mlamu ako n uwezo wa kuelewa viswahili vyote ila mtanzania aeza elewa tu vilioko Tanzania ambapo lamu kwenye kunao viswahili aina tano.

Acceptability is the factor! However much the language originates from E.A region, no particular ethnic group/tribe can clain it. There are about 60+ tribes in TZ and 40+ tribes in KE but each with its own mothertongue. Infact East Africans speak Swahili as a second language and there's no such tribe as Swahili but there's the Swahili culture/lifestyle, a derivative culture just like ghetto culture. If Hausa was to be picked as Africa's lingua franca then one ethnicity, the Hausa tribe, would be exalted above all others and that would be resisted by many Africans. Zulus will advocate for Zulu, Yorubas for Yoruba, Igbo for Igbo, in the end no consensus would be reached. Swahili is the only option that has no ethnic inclination and therefore no question of dominance!
@@qerysir4410 There is infact an ethnic group. The swahili people. A Common google search can help with that. Talking about commonality... If east Africans speak Swahili as a second language.. West Africans also speak Hausa as a second language. In Ghana... The largest Ethnic group is the Akan but u can easily move around with hausa which is not native to Ghana even tho west Africa is more ethnically diverse than any other part of the continent. Story for another day. Ghana with Just 30Mil. Ppl has over 70 difrnt ethnic groups. Secondly, I don't see east/south Africans anyday accepting to speak Hausa anytime/any day. Same way i don't believe in a united Africa is the same way I don't believe Speaking the same language is feasible for now... It wld be tho if we were to start region-aly. East Africa same language and a united country..same for west Africa and the other regional blocs.
@@na3766 There's no tribe called Swahili. I was born and raised in Malindi and I know what I say! It's the Bajunis and Gunyas that people fondly call Swahili which is not correct. They're also called Wadzomba by the Mijikenda, but they maintain Bajuni as their ethnic identity and NOT Swahili!
Keep deceiving yourself. It’s not the future of Africa but East Africa. We have our own languages in West Africa and proud of it. We cannot forgo our own language to learn Swahili, Never. Your narrative is dead on arrival..
@@moham.279 The languages that somewhat unite Africa now are European languages like English, and French. I would much rather see an African Language like Swahili serve this role. (Its already the most spoken African language so it makes sense for it to be the uniting language.)
@@moham.279 You say swahili can never be used in west africa because we have our own languages, yet you are very fluent in English a white mans language.

Yes it is. Geographically, because the Barawa people live within Somali borders, speak a Swahili dialect known as Chimini. Shows you don’t recognize them as a legitimate group in your country. Makes sense because Somalia is a failed state anyways so no one is surprised by your claim.
@@doctorabdulkadir3741 and the English uses Arabic numerals and the Roman alphabet. Nevermind that half of English is borrowed from French.

Sasa tumsikilize Nani? Wengine mnasema chimbuko la kiSwahili ni Lamu, wengine Mombasa, wengine Unguja, wengine Kilwa, tufuate neno la Nani Sasa?
@@swahiliwithdavid5910wajibu wetu ni kukiendeleza Kiswahili. Chimbuko na Kiswahili tuwaachie wanahistoria. Profesa Malcom Guthrie aliandika ripoti ya chimbuko la Kiswahili. Ludwig Krapf akiandika kamusi ya Kwanza ya Kiswahili akiwa katika misheni ya Rabai. Ukweli ni kwamba Mwalimu Nyerere alichangia Sana katika kukikuza Kiswahili na lahaja ya Kiunguja imekuwa muhimu Sana kama Kiswahili teule cha shughuli za kielimu Afrika Mashariki. Kuna lahaja Tu nyingi za Kiswahili - Kiamu, Kimtang'ata, Kimvitu, Kiunguja na nyinginezo. Hiyo ni dhairi kuwa huenda Kiswahili hakikuanzia sehemu moja bali sehemu nyingi Tu katika mwambao WA Afrika Mashariki.
Kiswahili ni lugha nzuri kweli hata mimi najifunza pia.
Unafanya vizuri. Hongera. Uko njiani kukamilika kuwa mswahili hodari.
Vizuri sana
Well done 👍👍 Kiswahili is indeed beautiful as you put it.I wish l could teach you.

Some Somali here are so naive. I am a leaving example of speak Swahili speaking Somali. Go read some facts about Somalia. Kismayo, Chula, Chovae, Mudoa, Kudai, Kulmis, Gome la iyu, Kistambul, Burkavo, among many other places in Somalia with Swahili spoken there. In 2019, Somalia lost one of its youngest assistant ministers in a terrorist attack in Mogadishu and he was a Swahili-speaking Somali his name was Sagar Ibrahim. In addition, in the late '70s, Somalia's soccer team captain was a Swahili guy named Simba.
I BET YOU DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT STUFF, DID YOU? YOU ARE WELCOME! Cheers!!
Dont mislead the audience, there is no place called chula chovae, mudoa kudai it is made up place they never existed and never will, stop lying we know you adoomeey.
I have heard fluent speakers from Ras Kamboni, Somalia
Lamu really ? Where's the historical proof? Let's just say it came from the east African coast
Its my first time to hear this too
Lamu is in the East African coast.
@@bluelight4907 I know that, what I'm saying is it's not known exactly where on the east African coast, to pin point where exactly is far fetched
@@evadtrent5607 if you can show the evidence of that I'll believe you. However from my knowledge there's no writing that has stated the EXACT birthplace of Swahili apart from it being the east African coast. To pinpoint an exact location doesn't make sense as the language was created as as mixture of various bantu languages. I could argue it might be kilwa as that's the where the earliest written documents in Swahili can be found but again that's redundant because the first to write doesn't mean the first to speak. Let's just agree it's a coastal language
Why not?this is problem we have us as african..we can never unite!
Asante dada 🙏🏼
Kwaheri ❤
Good speech, but kiswahili originate in Tanzania 🇹🇿
Not really kasome historia
It wisely to it was started from East African coastalline
Kiswahili did not start at Lamu, no. May be when it came in Kenya then it started at Lamu before spreading into the rest of Kenya. KiSwahili was here in the coast of Tanzania before Arabs set foot, here. It later borrowed words from Arabic, English, etc, due to trade, but Kiswahili is a Bantu language, with 90%+ words being purely bantu, not 60% as some say, it is as old as the bantus themselves.
You need to read history
Good but to make it clear Swahili born in Tanzania.
What since when Somalia 🇸🇴 started speaking Swahili ?
Some of Somali people speak Swahili even Al shabab speak Swahili
Somalis along the coast neighbouring Kenya speaks swahili
West and South of Somalia - Jubaland.
Some Bantu minority communities in south islands of Somalia close to Zanzibar speak some Swahili dialects thats only spoken in Somalia and the famous one is the Bajuni dialect, so yeah they exist but they are so small that they are in just hundreds not by thousands so yeah if we see it metaphorically.
@@hasanitto There are thousands of Somalis from Somalia in Kenya and they all speaks Swahili and that makes Swahili to be accepted in Somali. In short, Somalis (from Somalia) speaks Swahili
lamu? ndio vinini hivo. kiswahili ni kibantu na kiarabu kimezaliwa pwani ya EA basi... nahisi wewe ni mkenya ndio maana unavutia kwenu, na bado kiswahili ni tatzo Kenya

Yes and it is mostly bantu.
It is Bantu.

Swahili was born in Zanzibar Islands!
Read books
What is the language alphabet
For GOD sake! Swahili born in Lamu, Kenya? In which planet? Earth? Ayayayayaya...
It is true.
Waache waongeze na hiyo kwenye vitu hupenda kuibia nchi jirani😅😅😅
Unguja sio lamu
Nobody knows the exact origin of swahili...so it may be Lamu,Zanzibar,Mombasa or even Mogadishu.
In other words Swahili was born in East African coast.They may say Lamu because Lamu is the oldest town in East African coast.Which definitely habitted Arabs who interacted with the bantu people,Hence influencing the development of Swahili.
kati ya lahaja hizi mbili, kiamu na kiunguja, ni ipi ambayo inafaa kutukuzwa zaidi? kwa maoni yangu, Kiamu.
Kiunguja
Kwasababu ni lugha safi kiswahili chake kimenyooka
Kiunguja ndo kitukuzwe kwa sababu lamu wana lahaja moja miongoni mwa lahaja za kiswahili zinazoongelewa unguja nayo ipo kaskazini unguja sasa fkiria mwenye daftari na mwenye ukurasa yupi ahifadhi kumbukumbu
Kiamu kwa sababu Ki-Unguja tayari ni msingi was kiSwahili sanifu hivyo hakiwezi kupotea. Kiamu kinaweza kupotea kirahisi kisipobebwa Kama yai!
Kiamu ni kitamu..na wakenya wote wapaswa kukitilia maanani kiswahili
So much misinformation in this video. Kiswahili did not originate in KENYA. SMDH. Kiswahili originated in Tanzania. Just like MT. Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania but a Kenyan will lie and tell you the opposite. Kenyans first have to learn to speak Kiswahili before educating anyone about it. Less than 25% of Kenyans are even fluent
Read history deep
Kiswahili was born in lamu Kenya,!!
I wonder why many Kenyans don't speak it properly like zanzibar or Tanzania?
They speak but mix it with English and mother tongue terms =Sheng. Only the coastal people of Kenya do speak Kiswahili sanifu
@@somina4003 Sheng is just widely in Nairobi and its surroundings. Go to western Kenya and you'll find fluent Swahili speakers when they need not to speak their mother tongues
Lahaja za kiswahili ni nyingi ya unguja ndio ilitumiwa kwa kuwa ilkua rahisi..
Swahili was born in Tanzania, zanzibar
Haha read books
Swahili started in Zanzibar in Tanzania not lamu in Kenya
Originally was in Lamu, then Zanzibar within same time period though and this happened when Sultan Saeed decide to move his Capital place to zanzibar. Go read history well

We also used to have four days of speaking English and one of speaking Kiswahili, because of these many had a very negative attitude towards our languages including many Kenyan parents who only demand English to be spoken in the house
@@ericonsongo6198 that has nothing to do with not worshipping it, there's a difference between promoting it to be learned for opportunity vs favoring it and loving it as the main language within your country
Please convert this to Swahili, (Come to me all who are tired from carrying heavy loads and I will give you rest.) Please I will prefer it in a voice note so I can listen to it clearly.
Africans should have Swahili as the language, stop wearing western uniforms, weddings gowns, burrial etc. we need to bring back out own African touch. Swahili hoyee!!!
since when Somalia is speaking Swahili!!!
That was a new information for me
They do here in Kenya ...
Right since when Somalis speak swahili we speak Somali language in all Somali territories,the Somalis in NFD northern kenya their first language is Somali then ofcourse swahili ro stay in contact with the rest of kenyan!

Swahili didnt come from lamu, this is typical kenyan fabrication.
Kenya???
Ironic. Proposing arguing for using kiswahili using English.
Good but Swahili was born in Zanzibar Tanzania
The rest you're correct EXCEPT on the origin of Kiswahili language being Lamu, Kenya, that's a Big Lie! Sorry to tell you this truth publically. Otherwise, you're unarguably beautiful and a good presenter, congrats! Swahili traces its origin along the coastal areas along the Indian Ocean particularly along Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Tanga, Mafia, and Bagamoyo in Tanzania and Lamu and Mombasa in Kenya.
Learn history books about originality of Swahili....I gues you are a Tanzanian, get out of that box do your research intensively
Watanzania wanajivunia sana kuhusu kiswahili ila wasilolijua ni kuwa kiswahili hakikuanza Tanzania kilianza lamu kenya, ziko sababu zaidi 3 lkn ntakupatia moja ulifikirie, mlamu ako n uwezo wa kuelewa viswahili vyote ila mtanzania aeza elewa tu vilioko Tanzania ambapo lamu kwenye kunao viswahili aina tano.
Who cares ..we love Swahili...go to this individual places and all have their dilect....stop arguing over upumbavu
I love this language. Do know that it varies from city to city. Greet someone with "Habari" in Nairobi and they will just look at u. LOL.

swahili's first origin is mombasa not lamu
So Swahili has origins everywhere along the EA coast? Lamu, Mombasa, Zanzibar, Kilwa, etc etc..too many narratives!!
False, swahili was born in Zanzibar not Lamu
Kiswahili hoyee, lugha hii inakidhi, mahitaji yote ya kuwa lingua-franca, barani Afrika.

Swahili is not born in lamu ang go kenya main land that was lies. Swahili is born in a cost of east afrika specially zanzabar .zanzibar swahili is considered pure swahili .lamu there swahili is broken swahili
The most spoken language is West and Central Africa is Hausa. Why are we not talking about that?
Acceptability is the factor! However much the language originates from E.A region, no particular ethnic group/tribe can clain it. There are about 60+ tribes in TZ and 40+ tribes in KE but each with its own mothertongue. Infact East Africans speak Swahili as a second language and there's no such tribe as Swahili but there's the Swahili culture/lifestyle, a derivative culture just like ghetto culture.
If Hausa was to be picked as Africa's lingua franca then one ethnicity, the Hausa tribe, would be exalted above all others and that would be resisted by many Africans. Zulus will advocate for Zulu, Yorubas for Yoruba, Igbo for Igbo, in the end no consensus would be reached.
Swahili is the only option that has no ethnic inclination and therefore no question of dominance!
@@qerysir4410 There is infact an ethnic group. The swahili people. A Common google search can help with that.
Talking about commonality... If east Africans speak Swahili as a second language.. West Africans also speak Hausa as a second language. In Ghana... The largest Ethnic group is the Akan but u can easily move around with hausa which is not native to Ghana even tho west Africa is more ethnically diverse than any other part of the continent. Story for another day. Ghana with Just 30Mil. Ppl has over 70 difrnt ethnic groups.
Secondly, I don't see east/south Africans anyday accepting to speak Hausa anytime/any day. Same way i don't believe in a united Africa is the same way I don't believe Speaking the same language is feasible for now... It wld be tho if we were to start region-aly. East Africa same language and a united country..same for west Africa and the other regional blocs.
@@qerysir4410 there’s actually a Bantu tribe called Swahili tribe in Kenya but you have a point
@@na3766 There's no tribe called Swahili. I was born and raised in Malindi and I know what I say! It's the Bajunis and Gunyas that people fondly call Swahili which is not correct. They're also called Wadzomba by the Mijikenda, but they maintain Bajuni as their ethnic identity and NOT Swahili!
@@qerysir4410 now then I didn’t know because also in history we’re taught that it’s the swahili tribe . Thanks for informing me

Yes it is. Geographically, because the Barawa people live within Somali borders, speak a Swahili dialect known as Chimini. Shows you don’t recognize them as a legitimate group in your country. Makes sense because Somalia is a failed state anyways so no one is surprised by your claim.

@@doctorabdulkadir3741 and the English uses Arabic numerals and the Roman alphabet. Nevermind that half of English is borrowed from French. Despite this English remains a Germanic language in structure and grammar. So Whats your point?
