“…The experts' first committee meeting noted that a good number of the items in the Swahili translation of SSQOL questionnaire were relevant and well-captured as they appeared in the English SSQOL scale. This is also the case in other translations (Odetunde et al 2018(Odetunde et al , 2020. On the other hand, back translation indicated some discrepancies of 15 words/phrases/statements to the original English SSQOL http://www.sajp.co.za Open Access scale.…”

“…The two Swahili documents (S-1 and S-2) were then reconciled, as recommended in step two of the guidelines (Beaton et al 2000(Beaton et al , 2002Ganvir et al 2018) by the two linguists and a senior physiotherapist from Kenyatta national teaching, research and referral hospital. The senior physiotherapist was conversant with translation studies, and he, therefore, acted as a scribe to guarantee the semantic and conceptual equivalence of the reconciled document (Odetunde et al 2020). All items and specific words that were not in line with the original words as used in the scale were acknowledged clearly and a resolution was sought through consensus between the two linguists and the senior physiotherapist (Table 1).…”

“…Like in most studies (Odetunde et al 2018(Odetunde et al , 2020, eligible participants diagnosed with either ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke were given a written explanation about our study and signed written consent prior to completing the questionnaire. Consenting adult participants were then recruited systematically after receiving physiotherapy services.…”

Background: Stroke care requires a patient-centred, evidence-based and culturally appropriate approach for better patient clinical outcomes. Quality of life necessitates precise measuring using health-related quality measures that are self-reported and language appropriate. However, most of the self-reported measures were devised in Europe and therefore not considered contextually appropriate in other settings, more so in Africa.Objectives: Our study aimed to produce a Swahili version by translating and adapting the stroke-specific quality of life (SSQOL) scale among people with stroke in Kenya.Method: We used a questionnaire translation and cross-cultural adaptation. The pre-validation sample of 36 adult participants was drawn from 40 registered people with stroke, from the Stroke Association of Kenya (SAoK). Quantitative data were collected using both English and Swahili versions of the SSQOL scale. The mean, standard deviation (s.d.) and overall scores were calculated and are presented in tables.Results: The back translation revealed a few inconsistencies. Minor semantic and equivalence alterations were done in the vision, mood, self-care, upper extremity function and mobility domains by the expert review committee. Respondents indicated that all questions were well-understood and captured. The stroke onset mean age was 53.69 years and the standard deviation was 14.05.Conclusion: The translated version of the Swahili SSQOL questionnaire is comprehensible and well-adapted to the Swahili-speaking population.Clinical implication: The SSQOL has the potential to be a useful outcome measure for use in Swahili-speaking patients with stroke.

“…The SF-36 with 36 items [ 31 ] is intended to measure the quality of life of respondents with certain health conditions [ 30 , 31 ]. It is also widely used to evaluate the convergent validity of patient-reported outcome measures [ 14 , 16 , 18 , 30 ]. The SF-36 is translated, adapted, and validated into Amharic (SF-36-Am) [ 32 ] using the Ethiopian population.…”

Background The stroke-specific quality of life 2.0 (SSQOL 2.0) scale is a valid, reliable instrument which has been widely used as a patients reported outcome measure among stroke survivors. However, the SSQOL scale has not been validated and used in any Ethiopian language. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and test the psychometric properties of the SSQOL scale 2.0 in Amharic, which is the official and working language with about 34 million (23%) speakers in Ethiopia. Methods The adapted English version of the SSQOL 2.0 scale was translated into Amharic and then back-translated to English. An expert committee translated and created a final Amharic version of SSQOL (SSQOL-AM) scale. Pre-field testing (pilot and cognitive debriefing) was conducted with 15 post-stroke subjects. The SSQOL-Am was administered to 245 stroke survivors from four referral hospitals to determine the psychometric properties. Cronbach’s alpha and Intra-class correlation coefficient were used to calculate the internal consistency and test–retest reliability, spearman’s correlation for the convergent validity of the SSQOL-Am scale. The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), Minimum Detectable Change (MDC), Bland Altman Limit of Agreement (LOA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and Exploratory Factor Analysis were also determined. Results The SSQOL-Am demonstrated excellent test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.93), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.96), SEM 0.857, MDC 1.94, and good LOA. As postulated, the mobility domain of the tool demonstrated a significantly strong correlation with the physical function domain of the SF-36 (rho = 0.70, p < 0.001). Conclusions The SSQOL-Am is a valid and reliable outcome measure. The tool can be used in both clinical practice and research purposes with Amharic speaking post-stroke survivors.

“…A popular text found in street markets and used in secondary schools includes Hausa, Ìgbò and Yorùbá vocabulary (the three major indigenous languages of Nigeria) and was written to ‘generate unity’. Yorùbá is the only language in the text for which tones are marked: ‘accents are used over Yorùbá words to denote their sounds which are doo, ree, mii … ree has no visible tone mark except on nasalized syllables’ (Odetunde 2009: 1). According to the brief biography included in the book, Odetunde is a bit of a renaissance man with an interest in languages but little formal training.…”

Hooked on Sol-Fa: the do-re-mi heuristic for Yorùbá speech tones

Sarah Ann Glover (1785–1867) believed that singing was for the public good and Samuel Àjàyí Crowther (1809–91) thought that speech tones should be preserved in writing. Their stories illustrate that diversity in thought may encounter obstacles, but can ultimately shape human consciousness. While this shows a positive side of missionary work, bringing people and ideas together, the transmission of Glover's and Crowther's ideas was mediated by the overlapping political, social and cultural hegemonies of the colonial era. Crowther was celebrated in the English-speaking world as evidence that the civilizing agenda – and colonialism – was good for all involved, but his orthographic approach was credited to the missionary linguist Johann Gottlieb Christaller. Glover's innovations in music education have been misattributed to John Curwen and Zoltán Kodály. Drawing evidence from ethnographic work, field recordings, language surveys and literature from a variety of disciplines, this article asks the question: why is do-re-mi the preferred heuristic for Yorùbá speech tone? Glover's and Crowther's physical paths never crossed, but their ideas did, converging in a remarkable inter-continental and trans-disciplinary synthesis. The do-re-mi heuristic resists the pitch-height paradigm used in formal linguistics (low-mid-high). In a culture where drums can speak, it is unsurprising that a musical model filled a void in the (European) concept of what a language could be.
