Native Lingo

Swahili is a Bantu language spoken by about 35 million people in Africa. It is an official language of Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. The name Swahili comes from the Arabic word sawāhil (coasts) and the language contains a lot of vocabulary from Arabic, Persian, Malagasy, English, German and Portuguese.

The voice behind our “native lingo” is Father Bob Jalbert. Father Jalbert is a Maryknoll priest who served in the Missions of Africa including Tanzania. He currently serves as director of the Maryknoll Mission Education and Promotion Department in Ossining, New York.
