Swahili trigonometry
Speaking of Swahili.....did you know Swahili was a verbal only language until the British arrived in Africa? The native Africans did not have an alphabet so they could not develop a written language.
When the Brits showed up they decided to apply the English (Latin) alphabet to the phonic sounds of the Swahili words, which means all Swahili words are spelled EXACTLY like they sound.
I learned that useless fact when I worked in Nairobi, Kenya.
That and "hakuna matata" really does mean "no worries."
