• 摘要： 在“一带一路”倡议背景下，随着肯尼亚与中国之间经济文化交流的加深，汉语在肯尼亚的教育系统中扮演着越来越重要的角色。本文基于对比分析理论，探讨了斯瓦希里语母语者学习普通话时可能面临的挑战。文章首先介绍了肯尼亚的多语言政策和普通话在肯尼亚的教学背景。随后，本文对普通话和斯瓦希里语的语音系统进行了详细比较，包括元音和辅音系统的对比。通过对两种语言语音特征的深入分析，揭示了普通话的复杂声调系统和丰富的辅音种类，以及斯瓦希里语中相对简单的音节结构和辅音系统。研究结果显示，斯瓦希里语母语者在学习普通话时，尤其在发音准确性上可能会遇到一系列挑战，例如需要适应普通话中的圆唇与不圆唇元音的区别，以及特殊的辅音音素。最后，本文建议汉语教师应设计具体的教学策略和练习，帮助斯瓦希里语学习者有效地适应和掌握汉语的发音特征。
• Under the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative, as economic and culturalexchanges between Kenya and China deepen, Chinese language is playingan increasingly important role in Kenya’s education system. This paperemploys contrastive analysis theory to explore the challenges faced by Swahilinative speakers when learning Putonghua. The article begins by introducingKenya's multilingual policy and the context of Putonghua teaching in Kenya.Subsequently, the paper provides a detailed comparison of the phoneticsystems of Putonghua and Swahili, including contrasts in their vowel andconsonant systems. Through an in-depth analysis of the phonetic features ofboth languages, the study reveals the complexity of Putonghua’s tonal systemand its rich assortment of consonants, as well as the relatively simple syllablestructure and consonant system of Swahili. The findings indicate that Swahilinative speakers may encounter a range of challenges when learning Putonghua,particularly in achieving pronunciation accuracy, such as adapting to thedifferences between rounded and unrounded vowels and special consonantphonemes in Putonghua. Finally, the paper suggests that Putonghua instructorsshould design specific teaching strategies and exercises to help Swahili learnerseffectively adapt to and master the phonetic characteristics of Putonghua.
