I can send it to youAnybody selling black ultra inverto lnb in Tanzania?
Good solution. we shouldn't exclude any poster on account of language. Also, let us not forget sheng(which is, of course, not understood by non-east africans) is heavily used by posters (including myself) on this same forum, and there has never been an issue about it.We really shouldn't tolerate the mongrel (sheng) and frown on the purebreed(swahili) .Aaya. Let's settle it. If you want your query to be handled by experts from Tanzania ask it in Swahili. If you want it to be handled by experts from all over Africa and beyond. Ask it in English.
And I've never bought the notion that Swahili is an African language. Swahili is corrupted arab, Portuguese, hindi and some bantu mixed. It's no African's mother tongue.
If you're avoiding English to escape appearing colonized by the white man, you risk appearing an Arab or hindi slave by speaking Swahili.
You just choose a struggle.

As to whether kiswahili is an african language,just a small correction. As per uncle google, Kiswahili is 35% arabic plus a smattering of portuguese and a few others. But it is PREDOMINANTLY(over 60%) A BANTU language,both in syntax and grammar. That's african enough for me.And this africanness is why it is increasingly being adopted widely by african countries including mzansi,where it is now part of the curriculum.
As any good linguistics student knows, even english,a member of the indo-european group of languages(it is related to sanskrit hindu), is a veritable mishmash of anglosaxon,germanic and latin languages; and it has also absorbed words from a thousand other tongues including arabic, Eskimo, swahili, yoruba and even kikuyu. Any great international language(like kiswahili or english) must,of necessity,borrow in order to enlarge its vocabulary and increase its appeal. So no, it is not about avoiding english,slavery,struggle,colonization and all that. Otherwise i'd not bother becoming proficient at speaking and writing in english.
Accomodating swahili posters is simply a question of balance, and appreciating the value of diversity.And there is a health angle/benefit too:scientifically, speaking,reading and writing in several languages(i.e. being multilingual) has been shown to enhance a person's cognitive abilities and delay the onset of mind-degenerative problems such as dementia in oLdeR FolKS.

eeeh...yes,and no.The poster(Kingdavidtheone )asked a simple question in kiswahili and one of the respondents answered in kiswahili,which means he understands the language.And yes the forum is mainly english.but it's an east african forum so kiswahili can be used.Maybe the person replying can do so in english.Let's consider the other side of the argument-the person asking might also not be very confident in his english,so should we also exclude him?I know there are other tech swahili threads on this site but they do not possess a deep pool of participants and expertise like this one.
I have participated in other sat forums and i noted they have regional biases.For example a pakistani or naija sat forum may be in english,but the posters often use pakistani/naija examples, jargon and slangwords which means a non-pakistani/naija could have difficulties following some of the conversations.
Lastly Kiswahili is an african language(which means we should promote and take pride in it)that is increasingly becoming international,so let's accomodate each other in the spirit of african brotherhood.It is always useful to remember that the english language,though it is the global language of business,tech,science and so on and is therefore very crucial, still remains an imperialistic tool that is used to subjugate other languages and cultures while propagating and popularizing western\Caucasian values, cultures and viewpoints.Na kama waafrika ni vyema tujizatiti kuelewa na kuenzi hii lugha yetu tukufu.

Indians learnt the hard way. They despised English and even scrapped it off their school curriculum dismissing it as a colonialists' language.And to my Tz brothers, accept the reality. English is the universally accepted language of communication, try learning it. We never laugh at bad English.
Essao, kazi kwako (work for you)Essao, nomba ifwe abashumfwa chi swahili ninshi mwatuposa panse. Ninshi fimo fya kulatupita. Ninshi mu Africa twala ikatana shani?

Things look bad @91e only bb is auto rolling.
Some English words borrowed from other languages.On many other things but this one! Just on this account "Swahili is corrupted arab, Portuguese, hindi and some bantu mixed" its all wrong.
Those are minor, like 10% combined. 90 percent is bantu.
