Where's Swahili? I vote for Swahili. Where is it?

Kenya.. and maybe in Tanzania too? Definetely Kenya though.


He meant where is it in the polll. Swahili is the common language of east africa, not just tanzania and Kenya. It is related to Arabic and aramaic, which is spoken in Ethiopia, and maybe the rest of the horn of Africa, i'm not sure.

Also...

If China keeps growing economically the way it has been, you will see sometimes in the next 50 years China pass America in terms of economic power.

Just imagine 1.2 billion Chinese people who earn on average $20,000 a year...

Aramaic is still spoken? That's the language Jesus spoke, right? I didn't know it was spoken in Ethiopia...?

I think he spelled it wrong - Amharic is the primary language spoken in Ethiopia, one of many. My ex-girlfriend was half Ethiopian and half Sudanese.. she spoke Arabic though - from Sudan. But her mother was a native Amharic speaker from Ethiopia.
