Right there Mburu. There are actually locales for 100 African languages being developed. Quite a big number of them are Kenyan. So am sure there are guys here working on the Kogelo language, and many others. Mugo's post was actually very funny. But it may look insulting to others on the list who are are not from the mountain. I am sure we will have a lively discussion once we start that discussion elsewhere. Just send me a mail and we will carry on with it. All, please keep in mind that the development of African Locales is a very very important initiative for the sake of future localization projects.

He said 'contact me offlist' and that's what should be done. Next some other community will want their matter addressed on this forum then we end up looking tribal. Just wait and see!

Skunks and Skunkettes,
I'm not a Kyuke guru, but I think it would be inappropriate to send replies in this particular conversation **entirely* *in Gikuyu even though that is the main... theme (???). This though,. is my opinion, which is debatable and I stand to be corrected.

Andu aitu,
Uyu mundu ona ti mugikuyu, mutikamuthikirire. Aroria tumaundu tutari kuria turi. Rucini, icookero, irathiro, huaiini...tumaundu tunii. Mwirei ahurire thimu kana anyandikire marua maya ma gmail. Nii ndi mwarimu wa gikuyu.

As a contributor for the African Network for Localization, I got stuck on a few Kikuyu words. I came across some words that are really tough. I may need the assistance of anyone who knows Gikuyu properly, and I mean properly. For instance, what is the Kikuyu word for "three days ago"? How do you give AM/PM in Kiuk?
If you think you can assist, please get in touch offlist so that we help each other to complete this task. Ithe wa Ciru.
