EXPERIENCE THE MAA LANGUAGE:

Maasai or Masai (English pronunciation:/ˈmɑːsaɪ/;autonym: ɔl Maa) is an Eastern Nilotic language spoken in Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania by the Maasai people, numbering about 800,000. It is closely related to the other Maa varieties: Samburu (or Sampur), the language of the Samburu people of central Kenya,Chamus, spoken south and southeast of Lake Baringo (sometimes regarded as a dialect of Samburu); and Parakuyu of Tanzania. The Maasai, Samburu, il-Chamus and Parakuyu peoples are historically related and all refer to their language asɔl Maa.

The Maasai are a famous community in East Africa recognized for preserving their unique culture and way of life. Many tourists visit the areas where they live to witness and learn about their culture. The Maasai are proudly pastoralist and many continue with their nomadic pastoralist lifestyle which they have practiced for many generations.

The Maa speaking people are to be found in a very wide territory spreading from northern Kenya and extending as far south as the central areas of Tanzania. Certainly, a language spread this wide and lacking the means for maintenance of linguistic uniformity or standardization must contend itself with dialectal variation, a fact which is necessitating the need to revise the current Maasai Bible which was released in 1992. This translation, which was started mainly through the initiatives of John T. Mpaayei, the then General Secretary of the Bible Society of East Africa, and the local Maasai churches in Kajiado and Narok, was prepared along the lines of ‘union version’ translation. It was intended for use among all Maasai speaking peoples in Kenya and Tanzania. Indeed an attempt was made to involve, at least on the translation review committee, individuals representing the different Maasai dialect areas of Kenya and Tanzania, from the Samburu in the north to the Parakuyo in the South.

INTERESTING FACTS:

• Maasai do not eat meat on the day they have eaten milk or dairy products.

• Maasai have legends similar to the stories of Samson and Delilah, Isaac and Jacob, David and Goliath.
• Maasai worship one diety or God called Enkai. They worshiped him directly and also though sacrifices.
• Maasai do not eat meat with blood. They always pour/drain the blood from the animal. Blood drinking was not original part of their culture.
• Maasai have male circumcision as part of their culture.
• Their physical body structure resemble those of the Jews. Their warriors were known for their bravery!
