"My first language was Swahili; I moved to the US in 1985 and took ESL until 9th grade." Hope and Change for an H1B? Should an Indian national be a cabinet level CIO?

Should a FReeper recon that Swahili is and Indian language?

Swahili language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

*************************EXCERPT******************************

Swahili (called Kiswahili in the language itself) is the first language of the Swahili people (Waswahili), who inhabit several large stretches of the Indian Ocean coastline from southern Somalia to northern Mozambique, including the Comoros Islands.[3] Although only 5-10 million people speak it as their native language,[2] Swahili is a lingua franca of much of East Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a national or official language of four nations, and is the only language of African origin among the official working languages of the African Union.

Somali is an Islamic country...mostly....
