Community Speeches
- I belong to the Kikuyu speech group. The language is practiced in the central region of Kenya. The language belongs to the Bantu speaking community. This means it shares some traits with other Bantu speaking communities such as the Akamba and the Ameru. Kikuyu language plays an integral role as it creates a secure link between my culture and me.
- I belong to the Kiswahili speech group. I can use this language in all the parts of my country. The government of Kenya has adopted the Kiswahili language as one of the national languages. Kiswahili, although it originates from a minority group from the coastal region of Kenya, has become highly accepted in the country and other countries of Africa. I can attest that Kiswahili has encouraged unity in my country.
- I belong to the English speaking community. English remains a widely accepted language all over the world. The Christian colonial masters introduced it in my country and specifically my community during the colonial era. Since then, the country has used English in public learning institutions, public entities, and even the private sector has adapted it. English has played an integral role in creating unity in Kenya, as it has proven hard to change the local dialects as a national language.
- I belong to the French-speaking community. I learned French during my secondary education years. Since then, it has become my fourth language. It enjoys applications in various African countries since the French government had some colonies in Africa, such as Mali. French allows for effective communication with fellow French learners and individuals visiting my country from France.
- I belong to the Arabic speaking community. The Arabic language mainly originates from the continent of Asia. Asia has the majority of Arabic speakers. In addition, the countries in the North of Africa, such as Algeria, use this language. Learning the language has improved my communication skills and way of thinking.
