blacks hate blacks little too much, look at this web site
http://www.gadaa.com/
it is a Oromo nationalist website. long story short the Oromo think they are colonized by the Amhara in what is now Ethiopia they hate the Amharic language as official language and want to replace it with English. they want too beak away from their "colonizers" and make their own country. the Eritreans are the same the hate Ethiopia and call them "colonizers" but do not hate Italy really who colonized them. South Sudan might have a genocide. and as we know the Somalis think they are better then all blacks as we can see at this website http://www.somalinet.com/forums/index.php
here is a quote from a bbc article about Eritrea:
"Looking back across the centuries, the Eritreans mulled over the bloody raids staged by Ras Alula, the ruthless 19th century Tigrayan warlord and slave trader who crushed any local chieftain foolish enough to stand up to his employer, Ethiopian Emperor Yohannes IV.

That historical resentment was offset by a more recent sense of cultural superiority.

Eritreans took pride in their 1890 colonisation by the Italians, a contact, they felt, that had left them better educated and more sophisticated than their neighbours to the feudal south.

That impression was furthered by the fact that after Eritrea was forcibly annexed by Ethiopia's Haile Selassie in 1962, poor Tigrayans flooded into Asmara in search of work as janitors, cleaners and labourers."

[quote author=c.fours]lol. Swahili (East Africa) is not an indigenous African language. It's a mix of Arab, western and indigenous languages kinda like an equivalent of pidgin English spoken all over West Africa.
all people I know who speak swahili also have a native language (whether they can speak their native language or not is another question).

at your second point: well, the real indigenous people of South America are almost gone. They have died or intermarried into extinction so it is natural that their language will die with them.[/quote]swahili is a indigenous African language it just has a bunch of loan words from Arabic, english etc

even the mostly monocultural nations are killing their culture it's sad

Nigeria could make Languages Official with English

Lets take a look at Indonesia and Nigeria, like Nigeria it has colonial borders with a big population and a lot of languages. Nigeria has about 521 languages were Indonesia has about 742. now here where the things get fun. yes English is the language of trade but does it need the be Official? because Indonesia Official language is Indonesian(a version of Malay) and Indonesia is doing better than Nigeria. Cambodia and Niger were french colonies but one speaks Khmer and the other speaks French. why is this? Neo colonialism, Tribalism, or are African Languages not worth it? why can't the Nigeria's "national languages" be official with English

feel free to post

I am a AA and i here things like "we live in a globalized Village", "African languages don't have a lot of speaks", and "There are too many languages" and other stupid things like that about language policy in Africa. now as an American English is more or less "Official" in the nation but they also translate stuff in other languages like Spanish. but now on to Africa since most borders were made by Europe there is a language problem. the only nations that don't have colonial are Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco but nobody cares about the Arabs/Berbers so moving along. as for nations with both colonial and native languages as working languages as interesting because the colonial dominates the native for example South Africa has 11 Official languages(Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, Swazi, Tswana, Tsonga, Venda, Xhosa, and Zulu) and the dominate language is English and it was spoken by only 8.2%(year 2001), were Zulu is 23.8%. here is a link about South Africa's Problem
