analyze the historical factors that hindered the acquisition of Kiswahili language which of
course is the exodus of the problem. The impact of the first language on the acquisition of
the second language which is Kiswahili is also analyzed critically where the role of the
mind in the acquisition of language also plays part.
Philosophical analysis of second language and transition from Mother tongue to
Kiswahili is also discussed. The researcher has also used critical analysis to discuss the
educational effects of transition from mother tongue (Dholno) to second language
