Mtoa mada huwa unakurupuka na hii hoja ya lugha, kila mara ukianzisha huwa tunakujibu halafu unasubiri miezi michache unarudia yale yale maneno.
Kenya tunafundishwa Kingereza kuanzia chekechea hivyo sio tabu, ila cha msingi tunajivunia uwezo wa kuongea lugha nyingi, hatujafungiwa kwenye lugha moja kama kondoo na mbuzi.
Tunaongea lugha zetu za asili, na pia tunaongea hizi na kuletwa kama vile Kiswahili cha Mwarabu wakati alikua anawabaka Waafrika na Kingereza cha Mzungu.
Hamna kitu kitamu kama kuwa na uwezo wa kubadilisha badilisha lugha, inaongeza hata uwezo wa kufikiri, ukizoea lugha moja unaishia kuwa limbumbumbu fulani hivi. Hata nchi za Ughaibuni kama vile Marekani, utakuta wengi wanaongea Kingereza na lugha zingine tano hivi.
Lugha ya mama Lazima as long as yupo nyumbani, lakini kama anawahotubia wamaasai hawezi tumia lugha yake ya mama ila atazungumza kwa kiswahili au kiingereza. It's common sense though not common to all.
Mfano mmoja kiongozi akiwahutubia wamaasai kikamba?Lugha ya mama ni lazima sikatai lakini kiongozi wa nchi sioni kama ni vizuri unless kama Kenya kuna borders within the country yaani ukienda Masai land basi huwezi kuta mkenya yoyote wa kabila lingine so ni lazima uongee kimasai tu.
Mkuu umenena!! Pia kuna wengine hawajui kiswahili wala kiingereza!!wanabutua kiasili tu!Wewe kama sio chizi basi ni mwenda wazimu, Kenya lugha ya taifa ni kiswahili, na kimetajwa katika katiba yao, wananchi wengi wa Kenya hasa vijijini hawajui kabisa kiingereza, nenda pwani kwa wadigo, waduruma, wakamba, waswahili, au nenda kaskazini kwa Pokot na turkanas, lakusikitisha hata rais wao anapohutubia taifa anatumia English, ukweli ni kwamba Kenya inamatabaka ya watu, tabaka la matajiri na walioelimika ambao wengi wapo mijini hawakipendi kiswahili, na tabaka la watu masikini wasio na elimu ambao ndiyo wengi wanaoishi vijijini na slums za mijini, hawa hutumia kiswahili na serikali haiwajali sana hawa, kwahiyo wanapotaka kura, huenda vijijini na kwenye slums na hutumia kiswahili, wanapokuwa katika ofisi kubwakubwa hutumia English
Sio kweli, kila nchi ina sheria na taratibu na utamaduni wa nchi lazima zizingatiwe, huwezi kuendesha nchi kiholela hivyo, kuna vitu vinaitwa nembo za taifa, vitu kama wimbo wa taifa, bendera ya Taifa, rangi za taifa, pesa ya Taifa na lugha ya Taifa, lazima vilindwe na kuhifadhiwa na sheria za nchi, huwezi kuviachia vitumike holela bila mpangilio, huwezi kuruhusu watu waingie Kenya na waanze kutumia pesa za mataifa yao, au wapandishe bendera za mataifa yao katika ofisi zao, au watumie lugha za mataifa yao wakiwa katika public oficial places bila translators. Lugha ya taifa ni nembo muhimu sana kwa taifa lolote, serikali inawajibu mkubwa wa kuhakikisha inakuwa ndiyo kiunganishi cha wananchi wake kwa kuonyesha kwa vitendo kwa kuitumia katika shughuli zote za kiserikali na mashuleni, michezoni na katika institutions zote za serikaliIt really is not a big deal whatever language used. The idea of communication is the dissemination of it ...Whichever way it is done so long as it is received and understood the purpose has been achieved..English,Kiswahili, Sign Language or even Braille.

napita tuNafikiri ni kuwapa watu wa mataifa ya nje nafasi ya wao kuelewa pia, kwa WaKenya kizungu si tatizo kama huku kwetu kwa hiyo na wao wanaelewa vizuri
Sawa naelewa your point of view....But the Kenyans are not complaining on the use of the two languages..These languages have been used for years..They are comfortable with it....I have lived there and have a sizable business there and know it works for them..Different nations and people do things differently...Personally I speak 2 international langues plus Kiswahili and my mother tongue...Those languages have helped in my line of work..The open borders policy I struggle with but then again it's not my country...I would like to imagine it has been thought through...I still think they maintain there sovereignty...Sio kweli, kila nchi ina sheria na taratibu na utamaduni wa nchi lazima zizingatiwe, huwezi kuendesha nchi kiholela hivyo, kuna vitu vinaitwa nembo za taifa, vitu kama wimbo wa taifa, bendera ya Taifa, rangi za taifa, pesa ya Taifa na lugha ya Taifa, lazima vilindwe na kuhifadhiwa na sheria za nchi, huwezi kuviachia vitumike holela bila mpangilio, huwezi kuruhusu watu waingie Kenya na waanze kutumia pesa za mataifa yao, au wapandishe bendera za mataifa yao katika ofisi zao, au watumie lugha za mataifa yao wakiwa katika public oficial places bila translators.

Why uwahutubie lugha mama wakati taifa liko na lugha ya kitaifa. Ukiona hivyo ujue hapo hakuna taifa Bali kuna tower of Babel
Kwanza fahamu hizi tunazoita mataifa ni vitu vilibuniwa na mzungu alipokuta babu zetu na kuwagawa. Kawakuta Wamaasai na kuchora mpaka katikati yao hadi leo Mmaasai wa huku hawezi kumtembelea mjomba wake ambaye alijikuta upande wa pili.
Sisi tunaheshimu sana mila na desturi zetu, na ndio maana tunazo redio zinazopeperusha matangazo kwa lugha zetu za asili. Fahamu kwamba ukabila sio lugha, maana kule Somalia wote wa kabila moja, dini moja lakini wanabaguana balaa. Hapo Tanzania mnaongea lugha moja nyote, lakini mnao uchama wa kiajabu, mtu wa Chadema anachukiwa sana na wa CCM, nilishangaa baada ya Tundu Lissu kupigwa marisasi, niliona wafuasi wa CCM wanashabikia huku kwenye mitandao.
Kwetu kiongozi anapokwenda kijijini na kuwakuta akina ajuza, anawaeleza kwa lugha yao ya asili kama anaielewa.
Kaka wewe unazungumzia katika personal au individual life, lakini unapokuja kwenye ngazi ya nchi mambo ni tofauti kabisa, huwezi kusema because it works for them then ni sawa tu waendelee hivyo bila kufuata taratibu na miongozo waliyojiwekea kama nchi, hata rushwa tutasema because it works for them, tribalism, killings with impunity pia ni vitu vilivyozoeleka sana Kenya, hatuwezi kuviacha na kusema because it works for them, all these are indication of fuilure by the leadership and people should show their unhappiness not to accept easily.Sawa naelewa your point of view....But the Kenyans are not complaining on the use of the two languages..These languages have been used for years..They are comfortable with it....I have lived there and have a sizable business there and know it works for them..Different nations and people do things differently...Personally I speak 2 international langues plus Kiswahili and my mother tongue...Those languages have helped in my line of work..The open borders policy I struggle with but then again it's not my country...I would like to imagine it has been thought through...I still think they maintain there sovereignty...
Ama unapungukiwa na points za kuchangia, au uwezo wako wa kujenga hoja unapungua sana, huwezi kulinganisha ushabiki wa vyama na ukabila, ushabiki wakati wowote ule unaweza kubadilika, lakini ukabila ni wakudumu, nchi zote duniani kuna ushabiki wa vyama vya siasa, hata hapo kwenu kuna ushabiki wa vyama vya siasa, hilo ni jambo la kawaida na linakubalika ndani ya katiba za nchi, tatizo ni ukabila, hilo ndilo tatizo, linakuwa tatizo zaidi pale ukabila unapokuwa umetawala siasa za nchi kama ilivyo Kenya na Zanzibar.Kwanza fahamu hizi tunazoita mataifa ni vitu vilibuniwa na mzungu alipokuta babu zetu na kuwagawa. Kawakuta Wamaasai na kuchora mpaka katikati yao hadi leo Mmaasai wa huku hawezi kumtembelea mjomba wake ambaye alijikuta upande wa pili.

Uliza specific question ili upate specific answer, sasa ukiuliza swali la wazi kama hili, utapata jibu la wazi, kwamba inaelekea CANAN[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]Bure kabisa. Hawa malofa tukiwazoesha watakuja kutuchambulia hata maswala yasiowahusu, yaani mambo yetu ya ndani kwa ndani. Swali langu kwao ni, nchi yao wanaona ikielekea wapi in the next five years? Hapo sasa ndo utaona povu linalotosha kuzima ule moto ulochoma vile vifaranga. 😀
it is just pretty simple. In kenya kiswahili is the national language whereas English is the official language
An official language is a language that is used for official/formal purposes in a country. Government documents, legal proceedings, police reports, business contracts, that sort of thing.
A national language is a language that is symbolic of that country, usually for historical, cultural, and ethnic reasons.
