I think the African is exceptional because of our ability to be multi-lingual.
So not only you have your own channel but now you have your own rules also!?!?
I love 💝 Chimamanda Adichie so much 🤩. Why? She speaks slowly and makes a lot of sense. Even when she speaks the Igbo language, she is soft enough in her delivery that it makes you proud of your mother-tongue. I wish that all content creators would emulate her style of speech. Oh, one other addition. The Kenyan lady that does the street interviews is exceptional as well ❤️🩹.
ungazilibali ukuba ungubani na
Where are the Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele, Swati people
Guyana started teaching Swahili because the government said its their way to connect to Africa
Well, I'm a proud speaker of both Yoruba and English languages. I speak Yoruba mostly and English officially.
I am from the Caribbean and I wish I could speak swahili but it was taken away from us
I'm so grateful for being fluent in 7 South African languages, excluding English, Afrikaans, and French. I'm taking Yoruba and Swahili lessons at the moment 🎉
Lool. So Arabic is your native tongue. Good for you.
Notice, evertime these historians when trying to destribe squatters in north Africa, their arrows point the origins start from the red sea, just lazy to point from the arab peninsula. STOP LYING PLEASE, NO ONE CAME FROM THE SEA!!!! Africans already know that the borders were unprotected from slave trade & porous to illegal settlements & illegal fishing by sailors from india (somalis pirates started by stopping illegal fishing, know the history) !!!!
🇺🇲 politicians and others have agreed to attachments to black culture that I want no part of 🤔❤️🙏😇🌹
How is an Arabic language African?
What did Kenyans speak before Swahili. Does it still exist?
But Swahili is also a language introduced by colonisers. It’s not native to Kenya. It was a pidgin from Muslim colonialists or am I missing something?
Taking away our languages is devastating to those of us of the African diaspora.
I'm in the process of learning Kinyarwanda and Kikongo. I found that Kikongo is far easier than I ever could have imagined. I already speak 8 languages, so I figured hey, why not an African language under my belt?
However, I am also a Black American. We suffered the same crap you guys do over there, and it's like nobody cares that our language is gone. No, that sympathy is reserved for the red Indians when they bring up their past of those horrific boarding schools. At least you guys on the continent have native languages to hold on to.
So, I said to myself, screw it – I cant give us back our stolen language, so I guess I will have to settle for the next best thing; REBUILD IT – even if I have to do it alone. Been doing this since I was 15. I'm now 38.
Yes, I am in the process of building an entire language from scratch, most specifically for Black Americans though I would not turn away Africans from my classroom.
It is called Seniwan-Ben. Seniwan-Ben has it's own unique grammar, syntax, morphology, honorifics, alphabet and even 2 calligraphy systems. Yes, it has writing, so pinkskins cant come along with that "Blacks dont have their own writing" BS they like to pull with African people. It's been proven to be a lie, but white supremacists dont let facts get in their way.
My only problem is getting it out to the community without it being intercepted by our enemies who would gladly stomp it out like a fire. I know the pinkskins are going to flip when they try to stick their noses in Black affairs online and in the real world. Good. I will see them on the field of battle. The good news is that my hard work is about to pay off.
ENGLISH is the last world language.
This is so interesting because it really hits home. As a regular viewer of this channel, I'm from the Igbo ethnicity, which is the same as Chimamanda Adichie, the speaker, and my experience is similar. I was lucky to be able to speak the language from a young age out of self-interest, though I lived abroad. But today, many of us can not speak it because there was neglect or outright discouragement against the language. My brothers don't speak it (although one of them is making a new effort to), and some of my cousins and friends don't either. UNESCO predicted that our language would go extinct as early as 2025 (which is not accurate, that's too early), and as late as 2056. Africans need to value what's our own because at the rate of what's going on, plus foreigners moving into our lands, we will be like strangers in our own land, and the future generations will have an identity crisis amid the perpetual racism of this system.
Hi Beloved Sister
Good Job . We love You soooo much. Good day.
KISWAHILI
Y do Hispanic people still speak in the language they was tought by there parents and elders ? Well It's simple they were tought and learned.
I am from South Africa and my home native language is the Sesotho language. I speak it daily. I can speak english but i harldy use english.
During apartheid , white government promoted afrikaans and english , those two were the only official languages at that time.
aparthied government wanted to make their afrikaans language lingua franca by trying to force it on black people. They forced afrikaans on black people schools with some subjects. black learners in primary and high school marched against afrikaans , bantu education and apartheid as a whole. Primary and high school learners and some adults were injured & killed by apartheid police. That day was 1976 june 16.
Africa is not ready to except us as "Africans". Some even go so far as to call us white 🙄. Mad confusion. Bottom line, the European has won and there's is no change or accountability in sight for them
Black is not a country, continent, or ethnicity. There is no place in the world called black where it's culture
OMG thats it. Our language was stolen .
