		AFLANG (Roman char. Edition) ^Votes:0 THANK YOU for Visiting AFLANG Site AFLANG is a working group of students and researchers who have keen interest in African Languages. As everybody knows well, African languages show the most wild differentiation and the most complicated geographical distribution in this world.

Interesting but somehow neglected fields such as surrogate languages, sign languages, the function of music/dance and wordplays are in AFLANG's favourite domain. Kanji (sjis) here Hey, everybody! Present your study in front of the cheerful members! AfLang is waiting for YOU!! Never hesitate to send an E-mail to inform us your longing to speak about YOUR AFRICA in our cool meeting!

		Civilizations in Africa: The Swahili Kingdoms ^Votes:0 The eastern coast of Africa changed profoundly around the close of the first millenium AD. First, Bantu-speaking from the interior migrated and settled along the coast from Kenya to South Africa.
