Introduction African Languages , languages indigenous to the African continent. More than 2,000 different languages are spoken in Africa. Apart from Arabic, which is not confined to Africa, the most widely spoken African tongues are Swahili (35 million speakers) and Hausa (39 million), both of which are used over wide areas as lingua francas. Several languages (often inaccurately termed dialects simply because they have few users or are under-researched) are spoken by only a few thousand people. Although very few African languages have written literatures, the majority have long-standing traditions of oral literature. II.

It argues that to understand Islamic practice in North East Africa, it must be understood as a way of life (or rather, as a series of ways of life, the practice(s) drawn from a cultural heteroglossia), not as a religion. It looks at how in the Sudan, the relationship of communities to Islam is intricately entangled with a change in material culture and it examines the changes that Arabicisation brings. It also explores how this relationship to the outsider brings up a whole set of considerations about exteriority: interiority in these communities that helps one to see one of the characterising features of Islamic practice in the Sudan in the 20th century. From the Paper: "The contours of the centre have often been thought to be hegemonic in Islam. Indeed, Islam may be said to be hegemonic in the sense that the sacred quality of the central texts and the necessity or correctness of reciting them in critical contexts are unquestioned. However, these enunciations, as noted in the introduction, are situated in social practice. That said, Islam does have a tendency to encapsulate or explicitly devalue other forms of thought and practice so they will be legitimated by reference to Islam. In the case studies we will analyse we will observe a tension between the necessity for other forms of thought to be legitimated by Islam, and the equally compelling need for them to remain apart."

No 395, pp.18 Naturalism Western scholars Cultural journey Religious writings ... Comparing Amenemope and Solomon F or thousands of years of prehistoric and recorded history, Africa led humanity in the art of group cohesion and social organisation. The spiritual matrix devised by African societies provided the earliest substance of social and psychological cohesion known to man. These later impacted heavily on the societies of Western Asia and the Mediterranean world in particular, and were thereafter elaborated into distinct but ultimately related systems. Now referred to as "religion", these psycho-spiritual systems have profoundly affected humanity´s general way of being; its moral, social and transcendental "software". Religious thought began where mankind began. Much like today´s societies, the first nations had a need for purposeful communal existence and spiritual sustenance. The distinction between that termed "religion" and that termed "spirituality" is a recent development, incompatible with the ancient archetype. It is ultimately an extension of the tendency to compartmentalise; a quest to satisfy the individual ego. In the final analysis, they converge; one pertains to the inner and the other to the outer form of the same reality. Both the personal and social dimensions of transcendence were deemed necessary to group cohesion.

Geography African Mapmaking is Underappreciated Bassett recently completed an extensive inventory of indigenous mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. What he discovered was a heritage rich in unusual artifacts and representations. Among the Luba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lukasa memory boards made of wood, shells, and beads enabled praise singers to recount the history of a specific Luba king. The neighboring Tabwa people charted the path of mythical ancestral heroes on the backs and chests of initiates to the Butwa Society. The kingdom of Bamum in western Cameroon in the early 20th century was the site of one of the most ambitious mapmaking enterprises. Led by King Njoya, the Bamum people developed an alphabet and then undertook a major topographic survey of the kingdom, involving 60 people who made 30 stops over 52 days. "The map's form and content nicely illustrate the political use of maps," says Bassett, noting that the king promoted his political goals of consolidation by presenting images of rule.

Starting point As a communications network the Basel Mission - like other missionary societies - made early use of photography. The first Basel missionary in West Africa to take photographs was Wilhelm Locher, who was active with a camera in south-eastern Ghana in the 1860s. At the same time his colleague C. G. Richter was taking photographs in what are now the Indian states of Karnataka and Kerala (see illustration 11 A).The Mission also began at this time to acquire images from professional photographers working in coastal cities in Africa and Asia. Photographic images began to be reproduced as engravings in the Mission’s publications both for home and overseas consumption (see illustration 11 B). It is clear that in practice over the generations photography has remained an important activity among Basel missionaries. In the 1890s and early 1900s, for example, Basel Mission explorers in Cameroon took cameras with them on their journeys to open up new mission districts. Yet pioneer photography plays no part in the traditional identity of this Basel Mission or even in its insiders’ oral tradition. The formidable Fritz Ramseyer (Basel Missionary in Ghana from 1864 to 1908), still a name to conjure with in Ghana, has been completely forgotten as a photographer, although he took many excellent photographs, starting at the latest in 1888 (see illustration 10). By the time, in the 1980s, scholars from outside the Basel Mission began to point out that there

Although very few African languages have written literatures, the majority have long-standing traditions of oral literature. II. Language Groupings According to the most recent and widely accepted scholarly practice, the languages of Africa are grouped into four language families: Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan, Khoisan, and Niger-Congo. A language family is a group of related languages presumably derived from a common origin; a family is often subdivided into branches composed of more closely related languages. At least some of the African linguistic families are believed to have a history of more than 5,000 years. African languages that belong to different families are as little alike as English, Turkish, Chinese, and Navajo, although the disparate tongues may be spoken in the same locality. Even within a single family, African languages may be as different in sound and structure as English, Italian, Russian, and Hindi, all of which are members of the Indo-European language family. Within a given branch of one family, however, languages may often be as closely related as German, Dutch, and Swedish.
