I typically edit for clarity and punctuation. ~~{{portalpar\|Literature}}~~ {{Infobox_Philosopher \| '''Swahili literature''' is, generally speaking, [[literature]] written in the [[Swahili language]] particularly by [[Swahili people]]; it may also refer to literature written by people who write in Swahili language.

One can find works written in Kiamu, Kimvita, Kipemba, Kiunguja, Kimrima, Kimtang'ata, Ki-Dar-es-salaam and Ki-Nairobi which are considered varieties of Swahili.<ref>{{cite web \| title=The Heterogeneity of Swahili Literature \| publisher = Nordic Journal of African Studies 9(2): 11-21 (2000) \| url=http://www.njas.helsinki.fi/pdf-files/vol9num2/khamis.pdf#search=%22%22swahili%20literature%22%22 \| format = PDF \| accessdate=2006-09-26 }}</ref> image_caption = Joshua Crowgey stands next to a [[graffito]] in Buenos Aires \| <!-- Information --> ~~==Classification==~~ name = Joshua David Crowgey \| ~~Swahili literature is classified into three genres: '''Riwaya''' (the [[novel]]), '''tamthilia''' ([[drama]]) and '''shairi''' ([[poetry]]).~~ birth = {{birth date\|1979\|12\|4}}<br/>[[Virginia Beach]], [[Virginia]], [[USA]] </br> [[Image:World_citizen_badge.png\|40px]]\| school_tradition = [[User:Joshua_Crowgey/Philosophy_now\|''Philosophy Now!'']] approach.\| main_interests = [[Linguistics]] (specifically [[Phonology]]), [[Logic]], [[Fyodor Dostoevsky\|The Works of Fyodor Dostoevsky]], [[Philosophy of language]], [[Philosophy of Science]], [[Humanism]], Amateur [[Juggling]]\| influences = [[Rene Descartes\|René Descartes]], [[Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.\|Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.]], his [[Father\|father]], his friend Jon Tribble, his [[friend]] Kevin\| influenced = Some of his friends \| notable_ideas = yet to produce anything notable\| }} [[Image:Wikipedia_goldenbook.jpg\|frame\|left\|This editor is a '''[[Wikipedia:Service awards#Novice Editor (or Burba)\|Burba]]''', and is entitled to display this '''First Book of Wikipedia.''']] ~~==See also==~~ * [[African literature]] ~~==Further reading==~~ * Bertoncini, Elena Zubkova, (1989) ''Outline of Swahili Literature: Prose Fiction and Drama'' (Academic journal) * Nagy, Géza Füssi, ''The rise of Swahili literature and the œuvre of Shaaban bin Robert'' (Academic journal) ~~==External links==~~ * [http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9070571/Swahili-literature Britannica entry on Swahili literature] * [http://www.swahilimanuscripts.soas.ac.uk/ ''Swahili Manuscripts Database Project''] * {{cite web \| title=A bibliography of Swahili literature, linguistics, culture and history \| publisher = Swahili Forum - Compiled by Thomas Geider \| url=http://www.ifeas.uni-mainz.de/SwaFo/SWAHILI_FORUM_10_2003.pdf \| format = PDF \| }} ~~==References and notes==~~ ~~<References/>~~ </br> ~~{{literature-stub}}~~ ==Variety: The [[spice]] of [[life]].== ~~{{Swahili-stub}}~~ ~~[[Category:Swahili literature]]~~ Some [[User:Joshua_Crowgey/Philosophy_now\|fun]].</br> [[User:Joshua_Crowgey/Dostoevsky\|A (semi) original userbox]]</br> ==The ever-rising edit counter== <div style="float: left; border: 1px solid #33CCCC; margin: 1px;"> {\| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: #7FFF00;" \| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: #50C878; text-align: center; font-size: {{{id-s\|12}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc\|black}}};" \| '''edits+''' \| style="font-size: {{{info-s\|8}}}pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: {{{info-fc\|black}}};" \| '''This user has [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Joshua_Crowgey&site=en.wikipedia.org over '''378''' edits] in the Article namespace.''' \|}</div><noinclude> </br></br></br></br></br> *These edits are on the rise principally due to my recent contributions with the [[WP:TYPO\|typo team]].
