Why do Kenya and Tanzania promote the use of the Swahili language?
[1] About 2,000 years ago Kenya became part of the Africa/Asia trading network that Arabic, Persian, and Swahili speakers so successfully set up. [2] During that time, Swahili held a status equivalent to that held nowadays by English: it was widely known and spoken. [3] Swahili is a Bantu language. And during that time, Bantu was the dominant cultural, ethnic and linguistic group in Kenya. [4] The Portuguese were first of the Europeans to try to claim Kenya as a colony. [5] But the English were much more successful in their military, political and trading attempts in the area. [6[ By the 20th century, the English had successfully linked Kenya to other English-controlled African areas such as Uganda, and to Great Britain. They did so largely by getting involved in agriculture; and by setting up educational and governmental institutions, and trading and transportation networks. [7] Kenya realized political independence from Great Britian, in 1963. [8] But by that time English held a status equivalent to that of Swahili, in the country. For it was the language of all the key sectors of modern industrial development: education, government, and politics.
