Yeema lawonssay,
I hope dear brothers and sisters that you and your families are fine. I'm a kissi woman from Guinea exactly from Mafendou Kissidougou and Bolodou in Gueckedou. I found this forum very interesting. Searching own roots is something human and we all do it.
My forefathers (kamano chiefs of Bolodou) said to their children that they are from Koulikoro in actual Mali, they move from north to south because of wars.
That statement is quite plausible because of similarity of words of both
languages:
In Laws in Kissi; Mbiran mandingo:mbiran
Step brother kissi: Nnimo same in mandingo
elder brother or sister in kissi: unkoro mandingo n'koro
Greetings: la won sè (kissi)
in mandingo: al nin sÈe
kissi meaning SURVIVE in mandingo i don't think it is the same meaning in Kenya.
Girls name Sia in kissi the 1st born, in mandingo Sira is also the 1st born female finda in kissi is Henda in mandingo Koumba is also Koumba in mandingo, even male names Tamba.
All that to say that i'm not sure that just because of a kind of homonymy with kenyans we can considere them our relatives.
Sorry about inviting myself in men debate. I'm francophone living actually in Germany so excuse me for the faults and broken english. |

Hello,
I am Liberian specifically, Kissi. I am very interested in learning the kissi language spoken in Liberia, I will like to know if there are any resources to learn the language. Please let me know. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks |

E cho Alphonso Samukai, I was born in America but my father is Liberia and is from the Kissi tribe. I never took interest in my tribal history until my Israelite brother showed me that the Bible could be seen from a historical point of view. I have been studying our history for 5-6 years, from what I gather the kissi migrated from Sudan, I don’t know specifically which Western African empire they settled in but I do know they settled below the Niger River that’s in Guinea, our tribe once lived in a place called Fouta Djallon. However due to the tribal warfare and Islamic Jihads we was forced to migrate south (Lower Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia).
When it comes to our relations to the Kisii of Kenya their history says that they migrated from Egypt going south of the Nile River, in their history they mention that some of there brethren went west and ended up exploring Western Africa, maybe that’s where our tribe come in. Maybe because we lived with so many other tribes our language and customs changed. |
