Kiswahili Tanzania - Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania

Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ni nchi iliyoko Afrika ya Mashariki. Imepakana na Uganda na Kenya upande wa Kaskazini, Bahari Hindi upande wa mashariki, Msumbiji, Malawi na Zambia upande wa kusini, Kongo, Burundi, Rwanda na Uganda upande wa magharibi. Nchini Tanzania kuna lugha za kikabila zaidi ya mia moja. Hakuna lugha rasmi ya sheria. Lakini Kiswahili ni lugha ya kitaifa ya Tanzania. Kiswahili kinatumika kama lugha baina ya watu wa makabila mbalimbali na kwa mambo ya rasmi; kwa hiyo Kiswahili ni lugha rasmi ya dhati. Baada ya uhuru, Kiingereza (iliyokuwa lugha ya kikoloni kabla ya uhuru) iliendelea kutumika kwa mambo kadhaa ya rasmi, na kwa hiyo ilichukuliwa lugha rasmi ya dhati pamoja na Kiswahili. Lakini utumizi wa rasmi wa Kiingereza imepungua katika milongo iliyopita, na sasa utumizi huu karibu umekwisha. Kwa hiyo siku hizi ni kawaida zaidi kuchugulia Kiswahili kama lugha rasmi ya dhati ya pekee. Tanzania ni nchi mwanachama wa Jumuiya ya Afrika ya Mashariki.

Notes and references

General remarks:

  • The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.
  • Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
  • Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
  • The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
  • The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
