Swahili Wiki-Dictionary?
Martin Benjamin writes "The Hartford Courant just published a feature article on the Kamusi Project Internet Living Swahili Dictionary. This project is using the Net to put together dictionaries that are as scholarly as any university publication, yet with a secure participatory model that draws on knowledge from users around the world. Now the project is developing learning tools that will build on the Kamusi model of collaborative scholarship."
The fact that this is even a news story is racist, especially with the question mark in the headline. Wow! Africans can use a computer... C'mon
And All I Ask is a Tall Ship And a Star to Steer Her By
But I still had to fuck this shit up holmes!
I am glad all 12 people who need this can use it. Gawd Bless the internet.
The more I just want to troll this thread.
KRS-One is in da houze, beyotch.
Do you havea problem with that? You MUST be a fag.
comment is racist against all non-swahilians
Why waste your time writing a Swahili dictionary, the language is far to primative for anyone to even waste their time compiling, just like the people who speak it.
And hell yea african can use computers i know lots of them.
Yes, I agree with your sentiments, but it is already well known that people from Africa use computers. Looking in my mailbox I see a few hundred messages along the line of:
SORRY FOR THE SURPRISE PROPOSAL, BUT EXCUSE ME,DUE TO MY
DESPIRATION IN SEEKING AN URGENT ASSISTANCES.
MY NAME IS GENERAL WILLIAMS KABILA,I IS A YOUNGER BROTHER TO THE
LATE PRESIDENT...
What really amazes me are the number of car-accidents, lottery winners, coups and ex-dictators and their widows in Africa desperate to shift out those funds.

We cherish our misconceptions about your quaint country (whichever Third-world hellhole it may be), so don't disturb us with your patently absurd recollections of prosperity, peace, etc. You are a dreg washed up on our shores, and should thank the Maker (our God, not your heathen idol) for your good luck. And get busy washing dishes/digging ditches/picking fruit, because we need more people like you to do our dirty work. Once again, welcome to America, and please don't steal the golden bricks from the pavement.
Why isn't it written? Why should we accept a "people" who have no written language as human equals? Anthropologists define us by our use of tools, and if these people haven't developed the most essential tool, they are nothing but brutish cannibals.
He'll kick some Swahili ass. Those fuckers are just trying to rip us off with their false tales of lost fortunes. They can go fuck themselves hard. Mark me a troll? Then motherfuck you, you greasy sack of pigs shit.
I will not bow to the kind of shit that wants to fuck over anyone they can. Fuck them straight to fucking hell. you fucking faggot.
The truth hurts, doesn't it bitch?
