Usage

[edit]

This template may be used to format Swahili quotations from Abdallah bin Ali bin Nasir (19th century) Al-Inkishafi.

If the translation was taken from Allen (R. Allen (1946) “Inkishafi—a translation from the Swahili”, in African Studies, volume 5, number 4, →DOI, pages 243–249), the parameter |trans_from=allen can be used. If it came from Stigand (C.H. Stigand quoting W.E. Taylor (1915) A grammar of dialectic changes in the Kiswahili Language, Cambridge University Press), use |trans_from=stigand. Other sources can be specified by |trans_from=translation from {{cite-book}} and the like.
