Kuna namna mbili hapa...

Native Language ni "lugha ya Mama yako"..means uliyoikuta nyumbani kwenu kwenye familia yenu ulipozaliwa...kwa maana hiyo leo hii ata Kifaransa kinaweza kuwa ni native language ya Wa-Ivory Coast na Kiingereza kinaweza kuwa native language ya Msouth Africa na kama Kiswahili kinavyoweza kuwa native language ya Msukuma, hakuna tofauti hapo.

Lakini kama "native language" unamaanisha lugha ya jadi ya eneo husika, ethnic language, basi pia Kiswahili sio lugha ya asili ya kabila lolote la Kitanzania, Tanzania ina makabila 120 na makabila hayo yote yana lugha zao na sio Kiswahili, kama lipo kabila ambalo lugha yake ni Kiswahili nitafurahi kulijua.

kwa afrika hiyo itakuwa ngumu kwa sababu karibu nchi zote ziligawanywa vipande vipande na wazungu hivyo hakuna nchi ambayo raia wake ni wa kabila moja. maybe somalia peke yake

Hata kwenu, kabila ni moja! lugha moja! zinginezo ni Burundi na Somalia. na kama huamini niambie kabila lako na lugha yenu? najuwa misumu yako itasema ooh mimi mhutu(mwenye msimamo mkali) ok, lugha yenu je? utasema ni kihutu au kinyarwanda? basi kama ni kinyarwanda kaa ukijuwa ya kwamba kabila lako ni mnyarwanda, mpaka leo sijawahi kuona kabila halina lugha yake binafsi.

Uganda, japo official language ni English wengi wanaongea Luganda; hata wale wa North...kuna siku niliwauliza wakanambia ukikulia mjini lazima ujue hiyo lugha....ila hawajui Kiswahili

Ethiopia ndio kiboko ... maana wana mpaka sarufi zao...si hizi za kirumi

angalizo: Leo ni jumapili ndio maana nina muda wa kuwajibu.

Assuming by "kwetu" you mean Rwanda as always. Okay, kabila moja ni lipi hilo, na lugha moja ni ipi hiyo. Lugha ya Rwanda ndio hiyo hiyo lugha ya Burundi. Je hiyo lugha ni native kwa nchi gani na watu gani?

Mama rejea kichwa cha thread, tunaongelea NATIONAL LANGUAGE, sio language spoken by the major tribe, kisukuma na kinyamwezi sio national language ya Tanzania.

Nape amemchanganya, msamehe

Rejea andiko langu, nimesema with a light touch, kisukuma na kinyamwezi (to be more specific: Kimbu, Konongo, Nyamwezi, Sukuma, and Sumbwa) ni National Language ya Lake Zone. Kumbuka makabila haya kwa ujumla wake ni karibu 25 % ya Watanzania. Unafikiri idadi hiyo ni mchezo!!

Kenya kunao waswahili, nilidhani pia wanapatikana Tanzania, lugha yao ni kiswahili

Swahili tribe sio kabila kwa maana ya kama ilivyo kwa Wakikuyu au Wasukuma, bali ni kama ilivyo Watanzania leo, "kundi nla watu wanaoongea Kiswahili kama lugha yao ya kwanza".

Hivyo group la watu mchanganyiko wanaoongea Kiswahili kama lugha yao ya kwanza katika pwani ya Kenya likiunganisha Waarabu, Wabantu, Wahindi, n.k kwa ujumla wao wakaitwa Wa-Swahili...refer: Swahili tribe is not the tribe created by distant biological lineage but are just descendants of all those who lived on the coast during the trading times a thousand years ago...
