This episode of Africa’s LSP Podcast explores the language choices among Tanzanian Instagram users. Our guest, Carolyne Ulomy, sheds light on her research into
the factors that influence language choices among Tanzanian Instagram.
We’ll delve into the factors influencing these choices, from national languages like Swahili to lesser-known community languages. Carolyne will also discuss how social media platforms can better support this rich tapestry of languages and the potential implications of a growing multilingual online space in Tanzania and Africa.
