Hi, I'm a Tanzanian-American, I wasnt expecting to see this! Loved the video, everything was pretty accurate. Your pronunciation of certain things made me laugh though haha. Also, about the pronunciation of Tanzania, the correct pronunciation is tan-za-NEE-a, with the a's pronounced like the a in "bar". You are correct that foreigners often say it like tan-ZAY-nee-a or tan-ZA-nee-a. The correct pronunciation comes from the fact that the emphasis on a word in Swahili always falls on the second to last vowel :)

The oldest kiswahili dialects with minimal arabic loan words are actually found in the Kenyan coast especially in Lamu. IMO this is the purest kiswahili.

Kiswahili is not a hybrid/ creole language but a purely Bantu language. Although early scholarship insists on it being a hybrid language. Older Kiswahili dialects such as Kiamu spoken in Lamu or even Kimvita in Mombasa do not feature a lot of the Arabic loan words that are found in the standard Kiunguja dialect from Zanzibar which Europeans used as proof to classify Kiswahili as a form of creole.

No. The Tanzanian govt and some ignorant Tanznains have an unreasonable and unfounded fear of Kenya and Kenyans, which has strained the relationship between the two countries several times in the recent past 22:27

Kiswahili is not a hybrid language. It is a Bantu language with many borrowed words from the worlds most spoken languages.

[@T-lander]

Swahili was made when Arabians came to the coasts of the countries, that's why you see some Arabic words being similar or having literally the same meaning.

[@robertodundo2269]

@T-lander Kiswahili was a language of coastal people even before the advent of Arabs. It became an important language of trade between the bantus and the foreign traders. It was due to trade and, to some extent, religion that brought inflows of foreign words into the language. Most of the foreign vocabularies were from the Middle East coincidentally.

The Maine soundtrack of civilizations 4 "baba yetu"(which i discover in swahili means something on the lines of bless the lord...or god be blessed) was made by a tanzanian swahili gospel choir Thanks for giving a great soundtrack ;)

[@mitchhennen3525]

"Baba yetu" means "our father"

[@FictionHubZA]

Funny is the words "Baba yetu" are similar in other Bantu languages. In Zulu and Xhosa you say "Baba wethu" But the word "Yethu" is used when referring to something that is not human.

[@sydhenderson6753]

"Baba yetu" is the Lord's Prayer set to music in Swahili.

How about some videos on the African Great Lakes? Maybe a comparison lake-by-lake to the American Great Lakes. You seem to want to talk about it, and I'd love to listen.

Hello Mr Beat, like always, i loved your comparison video, and I am a big fan of your content overall, I watch you all the time. I just want to congratulate you as your channel is indeed growing exceptionally fast and say that you totally deserve it. I would like to leave a suggestion, though it probably is not the best option in terms of view potential, but it is Cyprus vs. Greece. Thanks a lot 🙏

[@iammrbeat]

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. It means a lot. Oh and that suggestion is perfectly reasonable. 😁

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

@@iammrbeat You are welcome ❤️ 😍

[@oslonorway547]

​@@iammrbeatNo, Greece goes with Macedonia, Cyprus goes with Malta. Unless you want to compare Northern Cyprus vs southern Cyprus, otherwise Cyprus isn't the parallel country to Greece. At the very most, it's Greece VS Turkey, two great empires long gone, but still at odds dueling it out to this day, dividing Cyprus in two.

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

@oslonorway547 I do believe that Cyprus is indeed the best match for Greece for such a video. They are the only 2 officially Greek speaking countries with predominantly Greek nationality and Greek Orthodox faith. Not to mention the shared history going back thousands of years. The two countries have almost identical cultures and share almost the same traditions and national holidays. There were even multiple attempts for reunification of Cyprus with Greece in the past.

[@oslonorway547]

@@Fluffychoupikkos Can't compare placed that are eerily similar to each other. This series chooses two places which have always been each other's competitor - whether openly or unacknowledged. Greece and Turkey have been at conflict for almost 1000 years now, and they continue to antagonize each other. If you wanted to go far back into history, it would be Greece VS Macedonia. But in modern day, it's Greece VS Turkey.

tanzania is effectively a one party state , while Kenya is multiparty, on the other hand tanzania has no inter tribe conflict while Kenya has it . Both countries have fast growing economies with stable governance. THEY BOTH SPEAK SWAHILI HOYE!

[@ottomanpodcast]

I would respectfully have to disagree, our country is on the brink of collapse with tax hikes, corruption and the election last year

[@billfitzpatrick6138]

It's funny, I think the one party state works for Tanzania. It may need to change in a few years, but I think it has helped unify the tribes.

Haha he called our Swahili blant, I'd say it's more bland. Just like there is UK English and US English, Tanzania's Swahili is more UK English, in its purest form, our Swahili is more US English. Also while Swahili is the national language, English is quite dominant in Kenya than TZ, often used interchangeably no matter the setting, social or formal.

Hey Mr. Beat I just received your Ultimate Guide Presidential Book and it's awesome. Just a random idea but what if you make a book called "Facts About ALL U.S Presidents | The Ultimate Guide" and it consists of all your scripts from your president's videos, ranging from the president's Pets video, children, favorite food, favorite drink, biggest accomplishment, etc! I would definitely order the book!
