is really all about the people of Kenya. The large majority are bi-lingual speaking English as well as a dialect of Swahili. Swahili has many different dialects, but they all share commonalities so that understanding and communication take place in a non-English language everyday and everywhere. When the Kenyan’s speak to English speaking people or people who understand English but are from other lands such as the French, Dutch, Swiss, Russians, Australians, Japanese, Chinese etc. they speak English.
