It's interesting that the Kiswahili word for universe, dunia, is so similar to the Wolof. This is the second similarity that I've seen in recent days. Is dunyaa derived from aAmwic?
"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."
