|a In S/32 there is an essay by a Belgian colonial administrator, Gerard Van der Vorst, regarding the teaching of Swahili in colonial secondary schools. The essay is arguing for the promotion of the study of indigenous language and literature to Europeans. According to Van der Vorst, the Swahili language is perfectly suitable for this task because of its rich literature, oral and written, and it is also suitable for translation in terms of linguistics pedagogy. The author is here presenting two songs, with French and Kingwana translation, to show how compatible for translation Swahili can be. The two poems presented are, first, a song in Kiamu, with attached translation in French, and Kingwana, the Swahili spoken in Belgian Congo (Zaire), and finally an extract from a Liongo song to show the epic genre. |
