I speak a fair amount of Swahili (and wrote a story about the Seminole Indian wars in it once upon a time) but I learned it all here in Seattle. Ditto my more limited Somali and Tigrinya, and my long since forgotten Hausa. Sorry, Mrrzy! Most of my recent/current contacts with Africans are in Esperanto (Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, the Congos mostly).

Utakwendako nitakwenda,

na utakaapo nitakaa.

Watu wako watakuwa watu wangu, na Mungu wako, Mungu wangu.
(this passage from the Book of Ruth was part of the marriage ceremony in 1979 when I married Shakuntala Kumari, a Hindi-speaker from Fiji)
