Excerpt from A Grammar of Dialectic Changes in the Kiswahili Language
If I may speak of my own view of the language considered as a whole, I would say that the conclusion which much careful con sideration has brought me to is, that in the Mvita or Mombasa dialect one finds what may be classed as the truly Central Swahili.
Central, because while the genius of the Mombasa dialect eschews the blemishes and excrescences which are to be found in the others - the too patent crudities, ambiguities, and corruptions of the careless South, and the needless complications and ironbound archaisms of the too conservative Islanders of the North-the Mombasa speech, in its purity, displays and cultivates to the full all their respective excellences.
