Katika miaka ya hivi karibuni, kumeshuhudiwa mabadiliko makubwa ya kijamii katika taifa letu. Miongoni mwa mabadiliko hayo ni kule kuendelea kwa taifa kuwa changa. Hii ina maana kuwa wananchi vijana walio na miaka chini ya thelathini na mitano ni wengi zaidi ya wale wenye umri mkubwa kuliko huo. Kwa sababu ya juhudi kubwa ya serikali, kufikia takriban miaka thelathini na mitano iliyopita, mbinu ya kujua kusoma na kuandika huchukuliwa kuwa kitu cha kawaida kama vile kuvaa nguo.

Tukitupa macho nyuma kabla ya utawala wa kikoloni kuingia huku kwetu yapata karne moja tu iliyopita, tutaona kuwa hali ilikuwa tofauti kabisa. Jumuiya zilizoishi katika sehemu ya bara hazikuwa zimeona wala kusikia mtu akiandika wala kusoma. Angetokea mtu awasomee makala wangemwona kama mwehu anayeboboka ovyo, kwani hicho kilikuwa kioja kikubwa.

Jumuiya za pwani zilikuwa na hali tofauti. Karne kadhaa hapo awali, wananchi hawa walikuwa wametembelewa na Waarabu kwa sababu ya kufanya biashara na kuwahubiria dini ya Kiislamu. Maingiliano haya yaliwanufaisha wananchi kwa njia ambayo labda haikukusudiwa. Walipata ujuzi wa kusoma na kuandika hati ya kiarabu ili waweze kusoma Koran katika lugha ya Kiarabu. Baadaye walitumia hati hiyo kuandika lugha zao za kienyeji. Maandishi mengi yalikuwa na lengo la kuhifadhi mafunzo ya dini ya Kiislamu.

Tukizingatia wazo hili la kuzichunguza baadhi ya jumuiya zilizoishi bara, tutaona kuwa zilikuwa na aina ya uandishi. Katika jumuiya mojawapo, kwa mfano, mgeni aliposema angekuja kutembea baada ya siku kumi, wenyeji wake walichukua ukambaa. Wakatengeneza mafundo kumi. Kila fundo liliwakilisha siku moja. Kila kulipokucha waliondoa fundo moja, mpaka fundo la kumi. Hii ikiwa njia mahususi ya kuhifadhi habari na ililingana na ile ya kuandika. Tunaweza kusema kuwa ilikuwa Wakoloni hawakuwa na mfumo mpya, labda kufikia sasa jumuiya hiyo ingekuwa imevumbua njia nyingine ya uandishi

31. Kwa nini taifa letu linaweza kuitwa changa?
    1. Halikui kwa sababu ya vijana wengi.
    2. Kwa sababu si la zamani sana.
    3. Hakuna wananchi wenye umri mkubwa. 
    4. Idadi kubwa ya wananchi ni vijana.
32. Watu wengi nchini wanajua kusoma na kuandika kwa sababu
    1. kumekuwa na utulivu nchini.
    2. wananchi wanaona faida ya kujua kusoma na kuandika.
    3. wananchi wenyewe wamefanya bidii.
    4. kumekuwa na mpango uliotekelezwa kwa miaka thelathini na mitano.
33. Kwa mujibu wa taarifa hii, neno jingine lenyenmaana sawa na mbinu ni
    1. mafunzo
    2. wazo

    2. Karibu miaka mia moja iliyopita.
    3. Karibu miaka hamsini iliyopita. 
    4. Miaka mia tatu iliyopita.
35. Ni nini maana ya neno kioja?
    1. Ghasia.
    2. Ajabu.
    3. Maarifa.
    4. Wendawazimu.
36. Ujuzi wa kusoma na kuandika ulifika pwani
    1. wakati wa kuingia kwa ukoloni
    2. muda mrefu kabla ya ukoloni
    3. muda mfupi baada ya ukoloni
    4. muda mrefu baada ya ukoloni.

    3. kusomea na kuandikia Kiarabu.

    2. kuendeleza lugha ya Kiarabu
    3. kuendeleza hati ya Kiarabu
    4. kuhifadhi mafunzo ya Kiislamu.

    1. shughuli zote mbili zilifanywa kwa mikono
    2. shughuli zote mbili zilikuwa zikifanywa kwa wakati mmoja
    3. shughuli zote mbili zilikuwa na lengo la kuhifadhi habari
    4. shughuli zote :nbili zilifanywa na wataalamu.
40. Katika aya ya mwisho, maoni ya mwandishi ni
    1. kuja kwa Wakoloni kulibadilisha utaratibu bora wa uandishi
    2. kuja kwa Wakoloni kulibadilisha matumizi ya mafundo

Baada ya uhuru, Kenya ilihitaji kuikweza lugha moja ya kiasili kuwa lugha ya taifa. Wakenya hawakutaka kuitumia lugha ya Kiingereza kama lugha ya taifa. Hii ilionekana kuwa lugha ya kikoloni na kigeni. Hali ya kuwepo lugha nyingi nchini ilitatiza uchaguzi wa lugha moja. Kila kabila lilitarajia lugha yake kuchaguliwa, jambo ambalo lilikuwa gumu. Kuchagua Kiingereza hakungefaa kwani, mbali na wasomi, raia wengi hawakukijua. Hata sasa wananchi wengi bado hawajakimudu.

Serikali ilishughulikia suala hili la uteuzi. Hatimaye, Kiswahili kilitunukiwa hadhi ya kuchaguliwa. Kama lugha ya taifa, Kiswhili hutumika katika maongezi ya kawaida, mawasiliano ya kibiashara na kadhalika. Kiswahili kilichaguliwa kwa sababu kadhaa. Kwanza, baadhi ya wasomi walifikiria kuwa lugha hii ilikuwa na asili ya Kiarabu. Kwa sababu hii walifikiria kuwa, Kiswahili hakikuwa lugha ya kabila lolote. Pili, wengine waliamini kwamba Kiswahili ni mchanganyiko wa lugha ya Kiarabu na lugha za kiafrika. Hivyo kingekubaliwa na makabila yote. Hata hivyo, wasomi wengine walishikilia kuwa hii ilikuwa ni lugha ya Kiafrika asilia bila mchanganyiko wowote.

Hivi leo hakuna ubishi wowote kuhusu asili ya Kiswahili. Hii ina maana kuwa Kiswahili kimekubalika kama lugha ya kiasili Afrika Mashariki. Pia ni kitambulisho cha utaifa wa nchi kama Kenya na Tanzania. Isitoshe, Kiswahili ni lugha mojawapo ya lugha za taifa nchini Kongo, Burundi na Rwanda.

41. Ni nini kilichotatiza uchanguzi wa lugha ya taifa?
