It sounded so strange to me – “Sanu lafia” (However it is spelt) was just about what I could manage.

Have fun and come dazzle us with strange new words.

Brilliant. I actually want to come back as the braying beast that is exploited it seems in every country in the world except TZ! Here, they live on the sides of the road, eating and sleeping and doing WTF they like on any given day. They rule the roads too! Will not move unless you ask nicely and look at you as if to say “hit me – I dare you! And we shall see who suffers the most damage!”So yes, I am willing to bray any time – well in my next life anyway…

You will find this influence in many domains of the language, e.g. numbers, religion, politics, etc.

Sergio Baldi from Naples has written a book about this:

A First Ethnolinguistic Comparison of Arabic Loanwords Common to Hausa and Swahili

Best wishes,

Uwe

Question for you. Is the similarity in words due to the Arabic influence in both languages?

In a previous life, I was known as Gambiya Amina and then I would say to you:

Ina wuni?

Although I never did become a Kano donkey. Damn!
