Language

The most outstanding difference between Kenya and Tanzania will be the Swahili language. The British effectively colonized Kenya in about the 1880s. The British established apartheid under which the white people were social and legally on the top with Asians just below them and Africans at the very bottom level. Swahili was the language of the Africans. Swahili came to be seen over time as a language of a servant class and that perception was not a chance even after independence. Today average high school-educated Kenyan can speak very rich fluent Swahili that most choose not to. They at most permit themselves to speak sheng and little of English and Swahili at its popular in urban areas. Speaking much Swahili is seen as a sign of being unable to speak English, laziness, and being academically poor. This behavior is a huge disadvantage in Kenya

Tanzania did not have any of these settler experiences, the British never settled in their country. So, Swahili in Tanzania is not tinted in such to show economic association, and as such Tanzanians are very proud to speak their Swahili language which sometimes seems like it is more advanced than the Kenyan version of Swahili.

Living standard
