24 letters

Linguistics fact of the day: Swahili was traditionally written in a modified Arabic script. So, now in its traditional Roman form finalized only in the 1930s, it only has 24 letters-- no 'q' and no 'x.' You learn something SO cool everyday...

And now for the big show, two very important words/phrases in my opinion:

• Thank you - Asante (a-SAN-tay)

• Where are the toilets? - Vyoo viko wapi? (vyoh VEE-ko WA-pee)

Have a wonderful evening and finish to the week...6 days. : )
