I finally managed to read this excellent piece by Dr Nebeyou Alemu from the @africaarguments #LivingInTranslation series guest edited by the excellent @Nanjala1. It brilliantly outlines Ethiopian politics and history through the frame of language https://t.co/J4bArQ4vY5

@Nanjala1 edits a series exploring how #languages build our worlds: https://t.co/IA9SoFFa4P #livingintranslation @africaarguments
Curated & guest edited by @Nanjala1 for @africaarguments, #LivinginTranslation looks like a fantastic 7-part series about enduring importance of #African #languages. Point of correction in intro, though, #Ethiopia & #Liberia were never colonised by Europe: https://t.co/p8DsdlGTAQ
"Language is more than just a string of words. It defines the shape of our world..." @Nanjala1 kicks off the 7 part "Living in Translation" series by inviting African authors to look at their lives and communities through language. #LivingInTranslation

Full of subtleties and triple entendres, threats and assurances, Kiswahili is not one language, but many (…some versions better than others.#LivingInTranslation https://t.co/sAec941ftS
“Kiswahili puts a smile on faces: through mispronunciations; through mischief; through the sheer delight that someone is trying to practice their limited skills; [...] through the daily playfulness which is the glue that binds us.” #LivingInTranslation https://t.co/mS5kTFHQqX
#WesternSahara: Natives of the desert, natives of #Africa?
By @melakhal for the series #LivingInTranslation, guest edited by @Nanjala1. https://t.co/WazDUbH9ZV
And, last but not least, @melakhal explores notions of identity among the #Saharawi, the desert people of the #WesternSahara with their remarkably complex and mixed history of movement and interaction with their neighbours #LivingInTranslation https://t.co/GoRzAUMOXN

In the sassiest entry of the series, @MikocheniReport waxes lyrical about #Kiswahili, its triple entendres and amenability to both disses and praise...dissing Kenyans and praising Tanzanians. Such an enjoyable romp of a love letter. #LivingInTranslation https://t.co/aXIMbcOekM
Adaptable, jazz-like and subversive. How Pidgin English, the language of Fela Kuti, turns competitors into comrades in Nigeria. #LivingInTranslation https://t.co/prnScwDlTb
