| dictionary english to swahili: Kamusi Ya Kiingereza-Kiswahili David Phineas Bhukanda Massamba, 1996 This massive authoritative Swahili dictionary, is the most definitive and comprehensive in existence. It has taken a team of lexicographers and academics fourteen years to prepare, with the support of the Institute of Kiswahili Research in Dar es Salaam. The last comparable edition was in 1939, and was primarily intended to help the user to comprehend English texts. The dictionary records new words and meanings of words which the language has acquired since 1939; and provides lexicographical information needed by current dictionary users.There are more than 50,000 entries, with an attempt to give every English word an equivalent in Swahili, or otherwise a phrase; and the vocabulary covers both general and specialized language. Guidance is provided on use and connotation, word formation and syntax, and derivatives and compounds of a headword are explicitly shown in each entry. The full information and arrangement given for each entry is: headword, homographs, wordclass, alternative spelling of a headword, cross-reference, gloss, definition, subject label, usage label, regional label, senses separated by numbers, illustrative examples, compounds, derivatives, and adjectival complementation. |

| dictionary english to swahili: Swahili - English Dictionary (Kamusi Ya Kiswahili - Kiingereza) John C. Rigdon, 2016-11-16 Spoken originally along the eastern coast of Africa(the name kiSwahili means 'coastal language'), and now the official language of Tanzania as well as a major language in Kenya, Uganda and the eastern Congo, Swahili is the lingua franca of Eastern Africa.A significant fraction of Swahili vocabulary is derived from Arabic through contact with Arabic-speaking Muslim inhabitants of the Swahili Coast. It has also incorporated German, Portuguese, English, Hindustani and French words into its vocabulary through contact with empire builders, traders and slavers during the past five centuries.The earliest known documents written in Swahili are letters written in Kilwa in 1711 A.D. in the Arabic script that were sent to the Portuguese of Mozambique and their local allies. Another ancient written document dated to 1728 is an epic poem in the Arabic script titled Utendi wa Tambuka (The History of Tambuka).One key step in spreading Swahili was to create a standard written language. In June 1928, an inter-territorial conference took place at Mombasa, at which the Zanzibar dialect, Kiunguja, was chosen to be the basis for standardising Swahili. Today's standard Swahili, the version taught as a second language, is for practical purposes Zanzibar Swahili.Swahili has become a second language spoken by tens of millions in three African Great Lakes countries (Tanzania, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)) where it is an official or national language. The neighbouring nation of Uganda made Swahili a required subject in primary schools in 1992.Some 80 percent of approximately 49 million Tanzanians speak Swahili in addition to their first languages. Many of the rising generation of Tanzania, however, speak Swahili as a primary language because of a decrease of the traditional cultures and the rise of a more unified culture in urban areas.Kenya's population is comparable as well, with a greater part of the nation being able to speak Swahili. Most educated Kenyans are able to communicate fluently in Swahili since it is a compulsory subject in school from grade one to high school and a distinct academic discipline in many of the public and private universities.The five eastern provinces of the DRC are Swahili-speaking. Nearly half the 66 million Congolese reportedly speak it, and it is starting to rival Lingala as the most important national language of that country.Swahili speakers may number 120 to 150 million.This English - Swahili and Swahili - English Dictionary (Kamusi ya Kiswahili - Kiingereza), contains 11,000 entries. It is based on our Words R Us - Wordnet implementation (www.wordsrus.info) which enables pairing the Swahili language with hundreds of others. It was created using dozens of sources including academic papers on the language as well as native speakers. |

Accompanying each definition is a chronologically arranged group of quotations that trace the usage of words, and show the contexts in which they can be used.

| dictionary english to swahili: English-German Glossary of Namibian Terms Marianne Zappen-Thomson, 2012 Since Namibia's Independence in 1990, a variety of English words have come into use, referring predominantly to political developments but also to changes in society in general. As German is one of the national languages in Namibia, these vocabulary changes also need to be expressed in this language. Yet because these terms are specific to the Namibian context, equivalent words cannot always be found in existing German dictionaries. Professor Marianne Zappen-Thomson, head of the German Section at the University of Namibia (UNAM), together with UNAM post-graduate students and colleagues from the University of Duisburg-Essen and the University of Bonn, in Germany, have coined appropriate terminology to express as accurately as possible the given English vocabulary in German. The aim is not to duplicate what can be found in existing dictionaries, but rather to elaborate on these with the unique situation of Namibia in mind, and to standardize the use of this terminology. |

| dictionary english to swahili: Kuria-English Dictionary Sammy M. Muniko, Benedict Muita oMagige, Malcolm Ruel, 1996 Kuria-speaking people number about one million, with a homeland stretching from Kuria District in southwest Kenya through to North and South Mara in northern Tanzania. This is the first published dictionary of their language. It has been compiled especially with a view to its practical use, employing the standard Swahili orthography and avoiding complex grammatical notation. At the same time it is concerned to show the great richness of Kuria as a language which uses the full range of the common Bantu structural forms of verb and noun to express subtleties of meaning. It is intended partly as a record of the language and in this respect will be of use to comparative linguists. (A computerised version is available on disk.) It will be essential to anyone wishing to learn the Kuria language, including non-Kuria working in the area of Kenya and Tanzania where Kuria is spoken, but it should also be of interest to Kuria themselves, not least to Kuria school pupils looking for direct access to English through their own language. Sammy M. Muniko was born in Buirege, Kuria District, in 1946, trained as a teacher, and after some years as an Education Officer became Headmaster of St. Joseph Ntimaru Secondary School, a position he still holds. He has written school reading texts and advised nationally on the use of languages in schools. Benedict Muita oMagige was a teacher who made an extensive collection of Kuria proverbs, and owed much of his interest in Kuria traditional culture to his father, Joseph Magige oTatwa, of Renchoka, a former prominent chief. Ben died shortly after this dictionary was completed. Malcolm J. Ruel is an Oxford trained social anthropologist who compiled the original wordlist from which this dictionary has developed. He has written widely on Kuria culture and a collection of his essays on Kuria religion and related topics is shortly to be published by E. J. Brill. |
