Well that could be the case. The Swahili I know (or the lack of it in my case) is spoken in Kenya, Mombassa.

Do you know this song: mamako star, star! Ana koola fish, fish, ooji na coke! Lol.

And how about this one: samaki akeoza msintoope, mtafote malimawo mkaooshe…..Lol, classic!

Lol.. my grandma was saying it was something else.. I don't remember myself now. :? And we had a Kenyan teacher and when I said it to her, she was like no, tea is chai and I was like :? . lol

I was born in the UK, never spoken it with anyone, not even learnt it. Well, I did learn bits and bobs from grandma, uncles and aunties ... but I've even forgotten that. :offended: lol

I'm sure you know MORE than me because right now, I think I only know chai. :p
