ILoveLanguages! | NIGER-CONGO: SWAHILI & ESCARPMENT DOGON @ilovelanguages0124 | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Swahili is the most widely spoken Bantu language by number of speakers. It has over 200 million speakers. Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique (along the East African coast and adjacent littoral islands)
Escarpment Dogon is a continuum of dialects spoken along the Bandiagara Escarpment, in Mali with three principal dialects. Toro So was chosen as the official standard dialect due to its central location and commonalities with many Dogon languages, making it suitable for educational and official contexts. However, Jamsay Dogon is considered the prestige variety and is used for radio broadcasts.
This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics.
