Asked for the hadza & maasai loan words used in swahili not the other way around bruh

Kazikazi:
There is no need for u to have a head just chopped it off.You can't think.

FYI..
Swahili is a mixture of all African languages found in east Africa with some foreign languages like Arab,Portuguese, Indian,English,dutch,Italian,etc. So if u use Swahili,that means you have included everyone including a hadza and masais.

But SA is strange. You have one antherm which is sung in each paragraph by a different language found in SA,But a khoi man isn't represented.A real citizen isn't there

Hadza & maasai for sure aren't included in swahili if it's indeed so I'd like to know the loan words.

jln115:
A very very very very small number of people speak Khoi, also 99% of Khoisan have coloured ancestry anyway, and almost all of them speak Afrikaans as their home language, so saying they are excluded from the anthem is false, and only 5 out of the 11 official languages are used in the anthem.

I would agree that they don't get the same privileges under AA and BEE regulations since they are classified as coloured not Black, and are not treated as the original inhabitants as they should!

If true then it's sad how much the people down there are ignorant, willingly inflicting the same horrors on others that they're fighting against...

Kazikazi:
So those khoisans who went to protest to your president were stupid? Are u trying to say a khoi man he no longer have a language?
FYI, a khoi man is a real south African The rest of you are just invaders Your antherm should be sung in khoi mans language with all those clicking sounds. But you decided to leave the real south African man out of your antherm,you went ahead and stole a TZ national antherm which we registered it in UN long long time ago.

Good, now where is the hadza TZ anthem, why are you hypocrites singing in some invader/bantu swa language?!?

SupaMoist:
The past week I've noticed something mindbogglingly retarded. Do you Kenyans really believe development is based on tower count & height. If so that has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. So by your own logic South African cities are more developed than German cities becuase South Africa has more tall towers? Your telling me Nairobi is more developed than Switzerland because Nairobi has more tall towers? Lagos, Nigeria by itself is wealthier than the entirety of Kenya no matter how many Chinese built foreign owned towers you have to gloat about. You Kenyans need to wake up and make a REAL DIFFERENCE.

Q
Why don't you instead allow us to feast on your belief about what development is

Lamu Kenya...

Santorini Greece.

samorobo:
First pic is not Lagos since it's infinitely better than anything I've ever seen here from my makoko view of Eko...check again...

I rebuke and reject the pain you've caused me today, pain go ki mi e go shutter my world apart

Am happy you noticed & do take it easy bro I'm sure you'll get there someday.

Lasgidi....

I see...

Shma:
Lagos is big in terms of square meters compared to Nairobi

Dude you've been saying that for a long time now sadly no one has informed you yet, Nairobi CBD is indeed smaller than Lagos CBD but Nairobi isn't.

What an Interesting decade this is, I hope it ends better than it started.

kikuyu1:
Am on my phone but recently saw an extremely interesting quote from a US geneticist:apart from Khoisans Kikuyus have the greatest genetic diversity IIRC being 3rd or 4th most diverse worldwide.

Debatable if you ask me...

The few Kikuyu DNA ancestral studies I've seen usually contain Liberian, Mbuti, Bantu,Omotic,Somali and remaining 20-30% divided among Middle Eastern,Papuan, West European and often some trace Melanasian and North Asian. Everything but Siberian, actually!

The kind of diversity you've seen within the Kikuyus is in terms of admixture levels, not only about ancestral dna lineages...

The Khoisan together with most isolates such as the hadza of Tanzania are some of the most genetically diverse people in the world but if one only considers admixture levels they won't even feature anywhere near the top of the list.

Find the Kikuyus & compare their admixture levels with the Somalis, Dinkas, Kenyan Luos, Luhya, Maasais sampled below... The average Dinka can be up to 15% yoruba/Igbo/bantu, The average Luhya is 40% Luo, the average Kenyan Luo is 50% Dinka, the average Kikuyu is 50% maasai, the average Somali is 60% Dinka, the average maasai is 70% somali, while the avarage African American is 80% yoruba & the average yoruba is 90-100% mandinka in short there is a little, in other instances, a lot of someone in each group/person.

sherlock229:
must you insult ? mannerless Kenyans and south Africans . and what does that have to do with diversity? because I can't seem to grasp why you post a migration map of thousands of years ago in this context. Nigeria northern part is entirely Afro Asiatic speakers with few Nilo Saharan languages in north east and some bigger Congo languages too

I wasn't insulting you I was only trying to appreciate your intelligence by politely asking you questions on the subject matter even then you're still seriously confessing to me I cAn'T SeEm tO gRasP wHy yOu...iN tHiS coNTeXT On a map that's not only written clearly, genetic diversity & gives one details on linguistic affinities, dispersion points over time but also the source of the map for reference. Really niggah really...

every states in Nigeria has industrial and Infrastructural developments just like konza and Tatu , can you plz show us pictures of city centers(cbd) of other counties in greater Nairobi outside Nairobi ?

Ogun states is currently building 8 new cities and extremely large industrial areas , some of which are New Makun City, OPIC Agbara/Igbesa Estate,New Dawn Gardens & Terraces,MITROS RESIDENCES AT GATEWAY ANNEX,Alamala,Magboro New Town

Someone else will do that... Good luck.

68816419:
and how many of those counties are developed ?

What do you mean by developed? Konza technopolis is being built up in Machakos County, Tatu city in Kiambu County, why do you think Nairobi city is the 6th most dynamic city in the world growing at a similar pace as the top Asian cities?

sherlock229:
also fulanis are not afro asiatic .... an idiot made this map, fulanis speaks niger-congo languages

Look at the arrow carefully you slowpoke, the Fulani/Fulbe migration is noted for starting from a region of fellow Niger-Congo speakers to regions high in Nilo-saharans & afroasiatic speakers example nothern Nigeria, Niger, Chad where they're found today, how stupid are you to be this incompetent that you can't interpret a simple map?

68816419:
It doesn't make any sense combining these counties and tagging them as parts of Nairobi, if so, how comes all these counties in the so called "Greater Nairobi" has thr own governors and different systems and even largely underdeveloped? , we could as well say Lagos METROPOLITAN AREAS(Lagos , ogun and oyo, since they all bordered Lagos

Governors are the executive head of the different counties not cities, Nairobi city metro is simply a conurbation of neighboring suburbs & towns, that's why it's that large, also Lagos metro already includes parts of those neighboring states...

Kazikazi:
Still,your map is fake! Almost all Tzanians speaks Swahili,but why in your map,the central of TZ is painted a different color?
Again, in SA,about 20% of population are whites,colored and Indians who don't speak Bantu or Khoisan languages.where are they in the map?

Northern TZ within that area has Luos, Maasais, Arusha, iraqw, hadza/isolates who are not bantu/Niger-Congo... The Indo-Europeans & the Malagasy aren't included in that particular map it doesn't mean it's a lie

Kazikazi:
According to your blog,Tanzania is more linguistically diverse than Kenya or Nigeria.But this map was a lie.How can you not place the tutsis of Rwanda and TZ in the map? Or those semi Arabs of Pemba and unguja islands in TZ?

The map isn't a lie, Tutsis are bantu hence fall under Niger-Congo, those semi Arabs speak swahili a bantu language that also falls under Niger-Congo find something else to worry about.

dont be dumb
you said quality over quantity
and im asking you for the quality of beauty

Aesthetic judgments especially the ones on beauty tend to always be subjective, it would be more fruitful to argue with a male elephant about the beauty of gazelle females & meaningless to argue against Nigerians/Ghanaians about their own females...

Just30:
whats the quality of beauty

Learn to comprehend things first before asking retarded questions...

Just30:
this is a dumber response to to diversity in the genome

Khoisan/isolates have the greatest genetic diversity followed closely by pygmies> Nilo-saharans> Niger-Congo> Afroasiatic> Indo-European & lastly the Asians, once you can disapprove this w/actual data only then will I engage you further.

sherlock229:
northern nigeria or whatever doesn't matter still 100% Nigerian, and not all the girls here are northern nigerian.

let's compare Kenyan women to Nigerian women, please let's see you get your assess handed to you.heck you you can add Rwanda and Tanzania etc to help you against Nigerian ...

Are you dumb? Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa so if it's just about numbers then for sure you got them, if it's about quality within those numbers then it's debatable.

Just30:
and who is ?

Try & find out for yourself... Don't bother I know that's an endless task for you. from most diverse to least diverse only for countries represented within this thread. ..

Linguistically
Tanzania> India> Kenya> Nigeria> South Africa> Ethiopia> Ghana

Genetically
W/regards to Y DNA/Mt DNA.
Kenya> Ethiopia> India> South Africa> Tanzania> Nigeria> Ghana
W/regards to Genetic diversity.
South Africa> Kenya> Tanzania> Ghana> Nigeria> Ethiopia> India.
W/regards to admixture levels.
Ethiopia> Kenya> India> South Africa> Tanzania> Nigeria> Ghana.

Phenotypically
South Africa> Kenya> Ethiopia> India> Tanzania> Nigeria> Ghana.

Which country do you see is the most diverse...

sherlock229:
Nigeria has the most beautiful and diverse people in Africa. Nigerian women.

Shuwa Arabs, Hausa/fulani/Kanuri girls all from northern Nigeria tell me if I've missed some other tribe that Nigeria ranks as beautiful? Also you should know Nigeria isn't nearly as diverse as you're trying to imply...

Problemkid1:
Cheap liar

OH yes sorry, I meant to say approximately 32,000 Sq kilometers instead of the 30,000 Sq km I posted earlier for Nairobi metro, thanks bro... Now compare it with the 2,000 Sq km for Lagos metro.

Miss Rwanda...

Somali chic...

Problemkid1:
Lagos is bigger than Nairobi. You can't compare Lagos with a Tiny slumish nairobi

Lagos is only bigger if you compare the state Vs the county but if you consider the metro areas Nairobi is far larger at 30,000 Sq km.

Kenyan chic, huddah Monroe.
