Top 11 Best English Speaking Countries in Africa

[bibi.com]

Mkuu siku za nyuma niliwahi kueleza kisa cha kweli kuhusu jamaa hawa, tukiwa wanafunzi kutoka Mataifa mbali mbali tuliwahi kukaribishwa chakula cha jioni na wenyeji wetu, katika mazungumzo yetu mmoja wa wenyeji wetu akatu hoji kila mmoja wetu kuhusu National languages za Mataifa yetu - tukataja, ilipofika zamu ya Mkenya akatamka with pride kwamba 'lugha yangu ya Taifa ni Kingereza!!' Mwigereza akashtuka kidogo alafu kamwambia 'come again, please' Mkenya karudia tena 'lugha yetu ya Taifa ni Kingereza' Mzungu wa watu alimwangaliaaa akatabasamu kidogo alafu akamjibu kistaarabu 'unawezaje kujivunia Queen's English na sisi tutasema nini?' alisema kiutani vile lakini sina shaka Mzungu huyo alihakikisha pen ime-drop, binafsi sina uhakika kama Mbantu mwenzetu huyo alijifunza kitu.

wabantu tuko na shida ya kutojiamini.

Tanzania itself has failed to embrace Swahili in fullness. Go through your documentations such as tenders, contracts, laws etc are all written in English.

Are you for real? Why dont you just say that documentations that you have seen were in English...surely you have not seen them all. Eti laws are in English...my dear go to Tanzania again...every law that is in English as you say..it has been translated from Swahili.

I dont understand Kenyans..they are so bothered about Tanzanians not speaking English. You would almost think it is their taxes that actually feed Tanzanians. A Kenyan comes in here and start bragging about who speaks good English and how important it is ...yeah right do you think the French and Germans are bothered with English? Or Norwegians or Danish or Chinese? Do you think they look down on each other because they dont speak English fluently? Nah..only in Africa..tena let me just say this Kenyans in particular whenever they want to look down on Tanzanians...nothing better.

Germans speak way better English than Kenyans and Many African Countries, they just don't bother. German President was in TZ this past week, and he spoke German only. This is a country with higher English Skills than 90% of non-native English speaking countries.

Matokeo haya hapa tazama:http://www.ielts.org/researchers/analysis-of-test-data/test-taker-performance-2012.aspx

Ukiwa maskini, unaishiwa vitu vya kujisifia, hivyo unabaki kujisifia upumb*vu kama hawa wapu*zi wa Kenya.

Hawa mabwana wazuri kwa kujisifia sifa za kijinga, ukiwaambia waweke facts ku-susbstantiate charades zao wanakulete vijiblogi uchwara walivyoandika wao na shangazi zao wa mathare.

Usiumize sana nao kichwa. Kenyan's are a classic example of "waonaji gere"

A study conducted by World Linguistic Agency has rated Uganda the Best English Speaking Country in Africa. This comes in the wake of a video from a Miss Rwanda contestant that was shown struggling with English in a country that made a move from Francophone to Anglophone.

After Uganda, the following countries came in closely; South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Namibia. Despite their strong traditional accent, Nigerians were credited for taking the spot for constructing good sentences that are grammatically flawless.

The full list is here:

1. Uganda

2. South Africa

3. Nigeria

4. Kenya

5. Zambia

6. Botswana

7. Zimbabwe

8. Malawi

9. Ghana

10. Rwanda

11. Sudan

this is not fair. Ugandan English is the worst of all in east africa in my opinion. Most Rwandan english speakers were refugees in Rwanda and diaspora and their number is smaller than the Tanzanian English speakers. lakini cha kushangaza, nimekuwepo nchi karibia zote hisi, the best English in Africa is Kenyan English followed by Botswana or Ghana. huu ndio ukweli, hata kama siifagilii nchi ya manyang'au lakini kiingereza chao ni kizuri sana na watoto wangu wanasoma Kenya hivi sasa. Sudan haina english kabisa, sijui wameongelea sudan gani, malawi and south africa english yao haina accent nzuri, ni mbaya tu, Nigerian hawaongei english, they speak Nigerian, you can't call that language English? lafudhi ya ajabu. my list could be:

1. KENYA

2. BOTSWANA

3. ZAMBIA

4. ZIMBABWE

5. SOUTH AFRICA

6. MALAWI

7. GHANA

8. UGANDA

9. TANZANIA

10. NAMIBIA

11. RWANDA

12. NIGERIA (they can write in English, but they don't speak a real english).

 

[ngonani]

So what? this is typical Colonial Hanghover,next time we should think of Top 11 Best Swahili speaking countries in Europe and Asia,China will obviously top the list

 

[NairobiWalker]

Lol, why are Tanzanians going HAM here?

It is just a thread about English as spoken in Africa and as usual, Tanzanians with their inferiority complex jump in crying on how Kenyans worship English, Kenyans look down upon them etc even when the thread didn't involve Tz in the first place.

 

[Kalund]

Naona hata niongee na kuimba hamtaelewa chochote hapa, nimesema ni kawaida kwa lugha kukopa maneno, lakini Kiswahili kimekopa hadi hata lake na maneno ya msingi kabisa. Ni lugha gani hapa duniani haikua na maneno ya kuhesabu, hata majira nk maana haya yote kimekopa kutoka kwa Kiarabu.

Yameshalipwa

 

[MK254]

Lol, why are Tanzanians going HAM here?

Hehehe!!! just seat back and read their responses..... cradle of inferiority complex.

 

[Bongolander]

I'm happy to meet you also. My problem is not to learn other languages English being one of them, but I don't expect Tanzania as a nation to be fluent in English even though some exceptions are possible. You can find the best English speaker in Tanzania but its unfair to expect a Swahili speaking country be included in a list of English speaking countries. I know Tanzania is one of Anglo speaking countries but this is more political than a reality because majority of Tanzanians do not speak English.
On the other hand its senseless to have a research that will come with ranking African countries in terms of English speaking fluency because at the international level people need to communicate only and fluency does not matter. Unless your on academic affairs otherwise you don't have to worry about fluency. Its only the inferiority complex that makes Africans busy ranking themselves in terms of English fluency, it does not happen in Europe neither does it happen in Asia and the Americas.

It can get better than this. There is great deal of inferiority among the likes of us...there are people here who try to be more American than Americans, Americanize their English than Americans, praise America than Americans. They also disparage Africans and blacks than what non Africans.

 

[MK254]

Kwani English ndio nini???????????????????????
Hakuna kitu kibaya kama kutawaliwa ki fikra...
Kila kizuri cha mzungu...
Kwa nini tusiwe na fahari na kimatumbi chetu?????????????????????????????

Mhhh!! basi tuanze na hiyo avatar yako, naomba uweke ya Mswahili utoe hiyo ya Hugo Chavez. Waswahili muache unafiki wenu huu na mkubali mna mapungufu. Kutumia Kingereza kina umuhimu wake tena pakubwa na haimanishi kwa anayekitumia kwamba hana uzalendo. Kama nilivyosema hapo awali, sisi Wakenya tunaenzi lugha zetu za asili na huwa tunaziongea kama Kikikuyu, Kijaluo n.k. halafu pia tunatumia lugha za kuletwa kama Kiswahili, Kingereza na kadhalika.

Kingereza tunakipenda kwa ajili ya umuhimu wake kwa biashara za kimataifa
- Akaja Mghana, Mnigeria, Mzibambwe, Msouth n.k. sitaumiza kichwa jinsi ya kuwasiliana naye, tunaongea tu kama watu tuliojuana zamani, tunapiga deals bila kuhangaika jinsi ya kuwasiliana.
- Utafiti wa Kisayansi umedhihirisha kwamba kwa kujifunza lugha zaidi haswa Kingereza, kuna manufaa mengi ikiwemo uwezo wa fikira pevu, soma huu hapa http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/llp/studi...ualism_to_creativity/compendium_part_1_en.pdf
- Kingereza kina utajiri wa maneno, haswa kwa wataalamu, ukiandika ripoti au kufanya utafiti, maneno yapo ya kila aina.

Yaani orodha ni ndefu, nikiamua kuandika manufaa yote hapa. Kuna Watanzania wengi wanaolijua hili na wamewaweka watoto wao kusomea Kenya au kwenye international schools za Bongo zenye walimu kutokea Kenya na Uganda, wakati walala hoi wamejaza watoto wao kwenye shule za saint Kayumba, huku wakidanganywa kuwa huo ndio uzalendo.

Kiswahili mimi nakiongea sana, lakini nakipenda tu kama ninavyopenda lugha zote zingine. Na huwa najifunza lugha nyingi sana, nikiwa Bongo huwa najifunza kuongea Kinyakyusa, Kichaga, Kipare na Kihaya ila inakua ngumu maana Watanzania wengi hawapendi kujifunza lugha zao za asili eti huo ni ushamba. Halafu nikiwa Kenya huwa najifunza Kiluhya (mke wangu Mluhya), Kikamba, Kijaluo, Kinandi n.k. Halafu lugha yangu ya sili Kikikuyu huwa naipenda sana na nikienda kijijini huwa najumuika na jamaa kwa kilugha. Mjini nikiingia kwenye biashara na kazi yangu, basi Kingereza nakipa kipaumbele ikifuatiwa na Kiswahili.

Sijasoma hilo gazeti zaidi ya first sentence...kwani Chavez ni Mzungu...au nimempendea lugha??????????????????????

[Baba Wille]

And what about Swahili speaking countries, Ki-ingereza sio lugha yetu!!

 

[INGENJA]

Chetu ndio kipi maana hata Kiswahili ambacho kilitokana na mwarabu bado sio chetu, labda nijivunie lugha yangu ya asili Kikikuyu.

akili yako finyu.....hujijui

Usome usisome haijalishi, mwisho wa siku nimeyatoa yote na itabaki humu JF kwa ajili ya kila mtu apitae. Wapo wanaosoma kimya na dosi inawaingia. Mlisema tupende chetu, hivyo Hugo Chavez sio Mswahili, weka picha ya Mwafrika ndio nijue huna unafiki na sio uvivu wa kufikiria.

 

[kimemie]

We nver bothered by language which come by bot MK245.
Some times back u said swahili has been founded by BANTU,ARABIC language...i want to telp u tht not only tht two bt also french,portugues and english too.
The good things of this language is belong to all we Tanzanian.
It is a gift from God to us and we cherish it at our best.

woow,very true

Tanzania is a Swahili speaking country. Countries like Tanzania and Ethiopia are struggling to get away of colonial mentality, so they should not be expected in the list of the best colonized African countries.
