ILoveLanguages! | NILO-SAHARAN (MAA): MAASAI & SAMBURU @ilovelanguages0124 | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
The Maasai language, an Eastern Nilotic language, is spoken by approximately 1.5 million Maasai people in Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania. It is closely related to other Maa varieties, including Samburu (spoken by the Samburu people of central Kenya), Chamus (spoken south and southeast of Lake Baringo and sometimes considered a dialect of Samburu), and Parakuyu (spoken in Tanzania).
Samburu, a dialect of the Maa language, is spoken by about 240,000 Samburu pastoralists in northern Kenya including the Chamus. The Samburu dialect shares a high degree of lexical similarity with the Camus dialect (88% to 94%) and the South Maasai dialects (77% to 89%). The term "Samburu" may come from the Maa word "saamburr," meaning a leather bag used by the Samburu people.
