Gaddafi was trying to unite Africa with the African Dinar, African Monetary Fund, and the African Central Bank. Louis Farrahkan was talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu2KJNIIg2c&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL If all of the countries in Africa were united, what language would we use? I think we should use Swahili or Hausa. |

Please re-write your post in Swahili or Hausa. Truth is that most African and world languages are not scientific. Modern science is full of Greek and Latin words which have now become mainstream English. Even a simple word such as 'compute' is Greek. Now tell me what is 'compute' or 'computer' in Hausa. |

paniki: I don't know what computer is but maybe some Emirs can create new words for the modern age. Maybe if there is a hausa word for math and machine then they can use that word. But I know what you mean though. But is there computer in Chinese or Arabic? Did somebody make up Chinese characters for computer? |

Paniki, that's not a serious problem. Words can be adopted ASAP. I think there are more swahili speakers than hausa. I go with swahili (hope its easy to learn like hausa). |

sheyguy: I am Igbo and I picked Hausa or Swahili. The Igbo language isn't big enough. |

igbo2011: You are a drooling efulefu not Igbo. You should as well drop dead for Hausa because you are not big enough. Why is it that some Igbo kids are so avoidably stup.id? |
