	MAR \| Data \| Assessment for Kalenjin in Kenya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The term Kalenjin, which was first used in the late 1950s, is a creation of the colonial period.
		Kalenjin were marginalized in the independence negotiations and alienated from their land by the colonial settlers (ECDIS00 = 1).
		With the presidency and a preponderance of ministerial positions, the Kalenjin have been in a position to pursue their interests and have been relatively immune from targeted government repression, although human rights abuses by the government are rampant.

		Kenya's successive language policies are steeped in contradictions that are not mitigated by the government's penchant for proliferating policies without the political will to execute them.
		Published in 1976, the Gachathi Report recommended that pupils be taught in the predominant language of the "catchment" area in the first three years.Gachathi's recommendation projects Thomas Gorman's thinking as regards development of vernaculars.
		In the article, "The Development of Language Policy in Kenya with Particular Reference to the Education System", contained in Wilfred Whiteley's 1974 publication, Language in Kenya, he alludes to the enormous number of different languages and even dialects of the same language as militating against the development of vernaculars.

		Rottland (personal communication, 1983) has remarked that the problem with "the term Kalenjin [is that it] implies the existence of a standard, or at least a variant which is understood throughout the area.
		Kalenjin has been used in the police, army, and to some extent "in the Game Department" (Whiteley 1974).

	Cultural Profile of the Datooga People of Tanzania
		Language: The Datooga language, with its dialects, is a Southern Nilote language, related distantly to the Kalenjin languages of Kenya.
		Christianity: Since most Datooga do not speak Swahili, the national language of Tanzania, and very few are literate, communication of the gospel must be in their own language, using traditional media of story-telling and songs.
		The gospel is a foreign religion with foreign forms, communicated in a language, Swahili, foreign to the vast majority of the Datooga people.

	This paper shall discuss the protrayal of disability in selected African languages in Kenya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It is motivated by the need to show that many existing studies uphold blanket generalisations on disability which do not cater for different cultural views.
		In brief, since language is culture, a product and manifestation of culture, this paper shall try to show that the prevailing descriptions do not necessarily capture the African perceptions of disability.
		Finally, if language can be taken as a guide to understanding and interpreting a given society's perception and attitudes towards disability, then analysing various aspects of language use in a given language is crucial.

	Nilotic Family
		Determining the precise number of Nilotic languages depends on complex issues that involve degree of mutual linguistic comprehension between speakers of different language varieties, and ethnic self-identity.
		Generally, linguists say that if two language varieties are not mutually intelligible between their respective speakers, then the varieties should be called distinct "languages" (rather than "dialects of a single language").
		Modernly, Nilotic languages are spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.

		And given that the proposed legislation is almost certainly aimed at a station that broadcasts in the language of the Kikuyu people, steadfast Moi opponents, it also highlights the country's complex ethnic politics.
		By the most generous estimates, only 69 percent of the population is literate, meaning they have mastered the basics of reading and writing in at least one language (only about 40 percent of women can read and write in any language).
		The Kikuyu--the largest ethnic group in the country, and one of the hardest hit in the 1993 clashes--have long viewed Moi as their nemesis, a feeling that is thought to be mutual.

		The Southern Nilotic languages are spoken mainly in western Kenya and northern Tanzania (with one of them, Kupsabiny or Sapiny, being spoken on the Ugandan side of Mount Elgon).
		They are generally divided into two groups, Kalenjin and Omotik-Datooga, although there is some uncertainty as to the internal coherence of the supposed Kalenjin branch.
		Southern Nilotic languages appear to have been influenced considerably by Cushitic ( Afro-Asiatic) languages.
