This is an attempt to write the story of Scripture translations in Kenya. The story started in 1845 when J.L. Krapf, a German C.M.S. missionary, started his translations of Scriptures into Swahili, Galla and Kamba. The work of translation has since continued to go from strength to strength. There were many problems during the pioneer days. Translators did not know well enough the language into which they were to translate, nor could they get dependable help from their illiterate and semi­ literate converts.

  • Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis
    Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories.

  • Classification of Bantu Languages by Malcolm Guthrie Pdf
    Classification of bantu languages by malcolm guthrie pdf Continue Linguistic classification BantuNarrow BantuGeographicdistributionAfrica, from approximately equator southern linguistics classificationNiger-CongoAtlantisk-CongoBenue-CongoSudder BantoidBantuSubdivisions Zones A-S (geographical) Glottoologistnarr1281[1]The approximate locations of the sixteen Guthrie Bantu zones, including the addition of a zone J The approximately 250 Narrow Bantu languages are conventionally divided into geographical zones, as Malcolm Guthrie first proposed (1967-1971). [2] These were assigned letters A-S and divided into decades (groups A10, A20, etc.); individual languages were assigned unit numbers (A11, A12, etc.) and dialects were further divided (A11a, A11b, etc.). This encoding system has become the standard for identifying Bantu languages. It was the only practical way to distinguish many ambiguously named languages before the introduction of ISO 639-3 coding, and it continues to be widely used. Only Guthrie's Zone S is considered (sometimes) to be a genealogical group. Since guthrie's time, a zone J (made of languages previously classified in groups D and E) has been created as another possible genealogical group bordering the Great Lakes. The list is first summarized, with links to articles about accepted groups of Bantu language (bold decade headlines). Then the complete 1948[3] list, updated by Guthrie in 1971 and by J. F. Maho in 2009. Summary The list below reflects Guthrie as updated by Maho (2009).
