Bas Sou'al | afikra Community Podcast

In this afikra FWD, Hana Ebrahim introduces us to the article, Modern Swahili: The Integration of Arabic Culture Into Swahili Literature. "Due to her geographical position, the African continent has for many centuries hosted visitors from other continents such as Asia and Europe. Such visitors came to Africa as explorers, missionaries, traders, and colonialists. Arabs have had a particularly long history of interaction with East African people, and have therefore made a significant contribution to the development of the Swahili language." Mwaliwa, Hanah. (2018). Modern Swahili: The integration of Arabic culture into Swahili literature.
Note: Hana is not an expert on this subject but is sharing information in the hopes of spurring interest in the subject.
