专注于非洲语言研究的亚洲和澳大利亚机构是相当新的。日本拥有强大的致力于非洲语言学的学术基础设施,位于几所大学和研究中心。中国回顾了50多年来对教授斯瓦希里语和其他主要非洲语言的兴趣,最近扩大了范围,涵盖了其他语言感兴趣的问题。在韩国,教授斯瓦希里语也是更普遍的非洲语言学的先驱,允许研究人员进行地区专业化。在澳大利亚,随着越来越多的非洲语言和语言学专家出现在该国,学术兴趣开始显现。
Asian and Australian institutions with a research focus on African languages are of fairly recent vintage. Japan has a strong academic infrastructure devoted to African linguistics, based in several universities and research centres. China looks back more than 50 years of interest in teaching Swahili and other major African languages, recently broadening the scope to encompass other issues of linguistic interest. In South Korea, teaching Swahili was also the precursor of more general African linguistics, allowing for regional specializations of researchers. In Australia, academic interest emerges with the increasing presence of experts on African languages and linguistics in the country.
