Swahili

Autor: Wilfred Whiteley

Número de Páginas: 126

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.

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject History - Africa, grade: A, Arizona State University, language: English, abstract: The development of Swahili maritime trade culture and their place in the old world web has been the topic of debate and discussion for centuries. In the most recent decades of the study of their history, emphasis has been placed on the Swahili's African origins over their Islamic origins, and how this position is more fundamental in understanding their culture and individual societies. The composition of the Swahili’s African origins with their Islamic, Arab, Indian, and Austronesian roots and influences, as well as their impact on community building and economic development have been the subject of monographs by Derek Nurse and Thomas Spear, Michael Pearson, and Mark Horton and John Middleton.
