@johnsmith9djoi @kenyasgossips You dont get it.. Most scientific researchers and innovators who speak Swahili already do their research in English, German, French, etc. Those societies deliberately built scientific ecosystems around these languages. That ecosystem not translation is what we’re missing.

@Karinganire_Has @grok whats happening

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@KingKarakum @kenyasgossips Korea is a good example... it borrowed scientific knowledge and terminology, adapted and expanded them, deliberately built local capacity, and sustained their use through STEM education, research and industry.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@KingKarakum @kenyasgossips Most developed countries borrowed concepts and technologies, adapted them, and expanded on them. Everything we need to begin developing is already there. Our unique challenges may require different approach for solutions.

@Semkae @kenyasgossips Kindly share i see

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Semkae @Index_49 @kenyasgossips Science can be explained in Kiswahili. The challenge is whether Kiswahili can express advanced scientific concepts with the same precision, brevity and established terminology as languages with mature scientific ecosystems.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Semkae @Index_49 @kenyasgossips More STEM research and papers in Swahili could change that over time. Without it, it risks remaining mainly a language of everyday communication, like Yoruba, rather than a language of scientific advancement.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Semkae @Index_49 @kenyasgossips It’s not just whether a language can translate science, but whether it has the ecosystem to grow a scientific vocabulary.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Index_49 @kenyasgossips Just know that even programming like python, C++, Java etc. the syntax remain standardized in english but comments, concept, variables etc can be, swahili, germany or chinese. Swahili needs a strong ecosystem of education, research, documentation and technical terminology.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Index_49 @kenyasgossips Asian/European languages have had centuries of interaction with, borrowing from, or deliberate development alongside modern scientific traditions. Kiswahili’s scientific vocabulary developed much later and under different circumstances.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Index_49 @kenyasgossips Chinese doesnt face such a problem because it has a long scientific and mathematics tradition especially from the late 19th and 20th centuries. It has therefore built a large technical vocabulary rather than simply translating everything word 4 word.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Index_49 @kenyasgossips "Feedback controls the system." Try this in swahili

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@kenyasgossips Many scientific concepts, logic and principles lack concise, established expressions. Translating them often makes explanations longer and more cumbersome, sometimes putting the language between the learner and the idea.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@kenyasgossips Kiswahili did not historically develop alongside modern scientific and mathematical disciplines to the same extent as languages such as English. Technical concepts, logical relationships, and scientific facts can be more difficult or less concise to communicate in Kiswahili.

[stillfaucie @stillfaucie]

@Nelson_1444 @kenyasgossips My point is not primarily about the learner's ability to understand science in Kiswahili. It is about the expressive capacity and efficiency of the language in technical communication.
