Ghanaian man able to understand Kromanti-Maroons (descendants of runaway enslaved Africans)

[Ubax45_]

This was intense, I wonder how difficult it is for them to understand each other.

Kromanti is an Akan language closely related to languages of the Akan dialect/language cluster, notably Twi and Fante, important languages in modern day Ghana. According to reports, Kromanti survived as a language of normal everyday communication amongst the Maroons up until the early decades of the 20th century. Since then, its use has receded and it is known mainly by elderly members of the community. It is mainly restricted to religious and ceremonial life of the community.

It's the Dutch that enslaved them. A tiny nation of 17 million. Africans will forever feel inferior unless they enslave whites. Only that can wash their inferiority away. There's no other remedy

"Slavery is one of the oldest trades known to man. We can first find records of the slave trade dating back to The Code of Hammurabi in Babylon in the 18th century BCE. People from virtually every major culture, civilization, and religious background have made slaves of their own and enslaved other peoples. However, comparatively little attention has been given to the prolific slave trade that was carried out by pirates, or corsairs, along the Barbary coast (as it was called by Europeans at the time), in what is now Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, beginning around 1600 AD."

"However, not content with attacking ships and sailors, the corsairs also sometimes raided coastal settlements in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, England, Ireland, and even as far away as the Netherlands and Iceland. They landed on unguarded beaches, and crept up on villages in the dark to capture their victims. Almost all the inhabitants of the village of Baltimore, in Ireland, were taken in this way in 1631. As a result of this threat, numerous coastal towns in the Mediterranean were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants until the 19 th century."

The Shebelli river basin once held a plantation economy equivalent to that in the American South that lasted from about 1825 up to the Italian period. Are you aware the Mushunguli still speak Zigua and are understood in their native Tanzania ?

that was north africans not west africans. They have never inflicted any form of slavery upon any one but themselves. so don't associate a slave trade that has nothing to do with them. They have always kept to them selves.

History is not Black and White.

Most slaves exported to the Americas were not directly captured by Europeans. Yes they enticed Africans to sell their own and corrupted indigenous forms of slavery but lets us not forget that once West/Central Africans acquired a taste for rum, sugar, glass beads, guns......they became willing partners in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

As Somalis, we should not throw stones at Europeans as we live in glass houses. We were both buyers and sellers of slaves. So were many of our Muslim Brothers.
