Background: Swahili, also called Kiswahili, is a Bantu language primarily of Eastern Africa. The dialect spoken in Zanzibar Town (kiUnjuga) was chosen as the basis for the Swahili to be used in publishing and education throughout East Africa. In addition to creative writing, there has been a long tradition of historical writing in Swahili, antedating the colonial era. In more recent times, linguistic studies and a body of literary criticism in the language have begun to develop and grow. | |
