A very obscure language

The responses of people so far have only pointed out how silly it is to call Spanish obscure. So people should also know that Swahili is one of the official languages of Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, and is widely spoken as a lingua franca in many other countries and places. It is spoken by at least 100 million people. If these were the only two dictionaries they singled out, then it is even more transparently racist. The biggest racialised language in the US and the most common African language (besides arabic).

Also, it is already hard for any book to pass the censors but I was a bit shocked to learn from that article that for a prisoner to get a book in any foreign language, there also has to be a published english edition available for the prison to evaluate. Even Spanish books, in a country where 13% of the population are native spanish speakers. So I don't imagine inmates with less common languages are getting many options.

reminder:
someone being sexual on the internet does not equal consent to talk dirty to them without asking first
this goes double for people of colour and trans people and butches we are not just your little fuck toys thanks
