So you just said exactly what I have been saying?
What is your point?
Are you my buddy now or what?
As I have said from the outset, SWAHILI neve ever never ever never had a WRITTEN form of language until (first) Arabs taught Swahili speakers to write out Swahili in Arabic (alphabet) and then (second) Europeans taught Swahili speakers to spell out Swhaili in English (Indo-European alphabet).
Is it that you are now agreement with me?? Why did you decide to post exactly what I have said from the outset?
I studied all of this in school. Swahili was a big part of our debate on African language and why most all African languages never had a writen form, they were ONLY SPOKEN languages.
It wasn’t until the Arabs and Europeans arrived that African languages were written out in other languages PHONETCIALLY - the way that they sound.
There are a few exceptions to the African rule of no written languages. One is of course Egypt.
Most universities teach that the language in Egypt was not phonetic (it’s just pictures). But when I (lucas) was in University the professor agrued that we don’t know for sure if the Egyptian language (it’s pictures) was actually void of phonetic sounds that might be made up by a group of pictures.
We had a long week debate about it.
In any case, it’s clear now that not you nor Great Kim / Mik Tearg are very familiar with much of African language. Your online copy and pastes are telltale signs of this.
I can talk for day on the subject.
Again, I’m not sure why you chose to agree with me.
Thank you though.
Respectfully,
Lucas Smith.
“Are you my buddy now or what?”
I don’t intend to be buddy or nemesis with you! I simply just want answers from you that you continue not to answer. However, that’s fine with me...I will assume that all those unanswered questions be treated as an admittance of deception in your part!
1. Where were your videos recorded? No answer...therefore, I must conclude that It was recorded somewhere in the Caribbean, especially that those background dialogues don’t sound swahili at all!...those kids don’t look Kenyan at all. Those winding slum area is not characteristic of kenya at all.
2. Show proof that you went to Kenya, receipts, plane ticket, visa, entry/exit date stamped on your passport?...No answer. Therefore, I’ll conclude that you NEVER WENT TO KENYA!
3. Why did you purport that those 3 pictures where you were in were shot with a Kenyan slums for the background?....No answer. Therefore, that is yet another attempt at deception in your part!

Your professor didn’t know much about hieroglyphics and their evolution from ideograms (what your professor calls pictures)to alphabet under Greco-Roman influence. The hieroglyphic characters found on the Rosetta Stone by Champollion are read as an alphabet. But what does your dumb show of erudition have to do with your fake certificate ?
Hieratic was first used during the Protodynastic Period, developing alongside the more formal hieroglyphic script. It is an error to view hieratic as a derivative of hieroglyphic writing. The earliest texts from Egypt are produced with ink and brush, with no indication their signs are descendants of hieroglyphs. True monumental hieroglyphs carved in stone did not appear until the 1st Dynasty, well after hieratic had been established as a scribal practice. The two writing systems, therefore, are related, parallel developments, rather than a single linear one.
Hieratic is an abjad system with logographic elements.
Abjad is defined as: a type of writing system in which each symbol always or usually[1] stands for a consonant; the reader must supply the appropriate vowel. It is a term suggested by Peter T. Daniels[2] to replace the common terms consonantary or consonantal alphabet or syllabary to refer to the family of scripts called West Semitic. In popular usage, abjads often contain the word "alphabet" in their names, such as "Phoenician alphabet" and "Arabic alphabet".
Logographic is defined as a grapheme which represents a word or a morpheme (the smallest meaningful unit of language). This stands in contrast to phonograms, which represent phonemes (speech sounds) or combinations of phonemes, and determinatives, which mark semantic categories.
Logograms are commonly known also as "ideograms" or "hieroglyphs". Strictly speaking, however, ideograms represent ideas directly rather than words and morphemes, and none of the logographic systems described here are truly ideographic.
