Print on Demand. This book is a dictionary designed to aid communication between native Swahili speakers and European explorers and colonists. Published in 1890, it contains over 8,000 Swahili words and their corresponding German translations. The author drew from existing Swahili-English and English-Swahili dictionaries to compile a Swahili-German resource that would facilitate the work of missionaries, settlers, and traders in East Africa. The dictionary includes words from the Swahili dialects of Zanzibar and Mombasa and is noteworthy for the inclusion of Arabic loanwords in the Swahili language, reflecting the influence of centuries of Arab trade and cultural exchange on the Swahili coast. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
