["Don Osborn" <dzo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A new list in the H-Net network, H-Swahili, has just been started. See: http://www.h-net.org/~swahili/

It is the second list in the network after H-Hausa to focus on a specific African language/culture area and be bilingual with English and an African language. The description in English and Swahili is included below.

"The H-Swahili network will strive to conduct its business in Swahili and in English as the primary languages on topical issues related to the use, teaching, promotion and general advancement of the Swahili language and culture, which is spoken by over 100 million people throughout East, Central and parts of Southern Africa."

"Mtandao wa H-Net utajitahidi kuendesha shughuli zake kwa Kiswahili na Kiingereza, kama lugha zake za kwanza, katika masuala yote yanayohusu ufundishaji, utangazaji na uendelezaji, kwa jumla, wa lugha na utamaduni wa Kiswahili; lugha ambayo inazungumzwa na zaidi ya watu milioni mia moja, Afrika ya Mashariki na Kati, na katika baadhi ya sehemu za Kusini mwa Afrika."
