kiswahili movement  

Définition(s)

  • In Africa, Kiswahili is widely spoken in Tanzania, Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, and the islands of Zanzibar, Madagascar, and the Comoros. Prior to the colonial era, before European nations carved up Africa among themselves at the Berlin Conference near the end of the 19th century, European missionaries learned African languages for the purpose of converting Africans to Christianity or for “spreading the gospel.” In East Africa, Kiswahili was widely used for maritime trade dating back hundreds of years.
