Need linguist in Los Angeles

blaskisic — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:07:56 +0000

Dear community,

I own a recording studio where we do production and postproduction, as well as language dubbing, for a variety of film and video projects, and I'm contacting this forum because I'm looking for linguists for an ongoing television project, which will require the help of language and cultural consultants for the languages and dialects spoken in South Africa and nearby countries, such as Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.

Hi,

My boyfriend and I are living in Edinburgh and would like to learn Swahili as we are going to be doing an overland trip to Africa next year. We would like to know if there are any classes/tutors available?

Thanks in advance!

I am the Director of Prostate Cancer International, one of whose missions is to bring awareness and education to the men of Africa. With 1 in every 4 men being diagnosed with prostate cancer, and thousands dying for this disease needlessly every year, we want to bring the message to the African man. We have designed a website (www.pcafrica.wordpress.com) where we need 3 pages of information translated into Swahilli for several of the countries.

Seeking input for the development of a Bantu based fictional world for roleplaying games

Mzimwi — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 03:34:18 +0000

I am attempting to create a fictional world based on Bantu mythology, somewhat like Tolkien's Middle-Earth. This will be used for roleplaying games, such as Dungeons and Dragons. I have no plans to market this creation, though if I finish it, it might be e-published.

My primary sources are Indaba, My Children by C.M. Mutwa and Myths and Legends of the Bantu by A. Werner.

Togwa - pombe

kipala — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:01:35 +0000

The following discussion at sw.wikipedia.com (article TOGWA) needs some more knowledge. Basically: is togwa just some unalcoholic state of pombe before fermenation or something else?
I repost the following 5 entries:
1
Je kuna tofauti gani kati ya togwa na pombe la kawaida? Yaani pombe ya mahindi, ulezi na kadhalika? Ni aina tofauti au aina ya pekee au ni lugha ya eneo tu? --
2
Nadhani ni tofauti za kimaeneo. Lakini ngoja niulize watu wengine. --
Kumbe kamusi ya KKK/SED yasema: "togwa , native beer (pombe) in the sweet, unintoxicating state, not fermented". Kumbe ni kama divai changa kwenye nchi za Mediteranea ambayo ni zaidi kama maji ya mizabibu. --
