We have designed a unique software system that enables you to make editorial contributions and suggestions as you browse through the dictionaries. Your submissions will be sent to the project editor. Once they are reviewed, they will be incorporated immediately into the online dictionaries, and you will be acknowledged on the Participants page. We encourage participation by students and scholars of Swahili at all levels of familiarity with the language - beginners can suggest improvements to the English content, while scholars with an intimate knowledge of the language contribute clear, nuanced dictionary entries. The Kamusi Project provides a forum for people from around the world to post questions about Swahili, debate the meanings and derivations of words and phrases, and interact with people who share their interests in East Africa and the Swahili language.
Many participants log in daily to answer queries and engage in ongoing discussions.
Students, teachers, specialists, first-language Swahili speakers, and the curious are all welcome to visit the Discussion Forum, post questions, offer answers, and read the discussion threads and archives.
