**Roots & Tongues 2027 Desktop Calendar | African Languages & Ancestry**
*Shorter option:* Roots & Tongues 2027 Desk Calendar: 12 African Greetings
**One year. Twelve African languages. Twelve stories about where we come from.**
Roots & Tongues 2027 pairs a greeting from a different African language with a story about ancestry on every month. Language is how we carry our stories. DNA is how we carry our ancestors.
**What's inside**
- A cover and 12 monthly pages, each with a full 2027 calendar grid and room to write
- A greeting for each month, with its meaning and the countries where the language is spoken
- A short note on the language, and a note on what DNA research tells us about the people who speak it
- Each greeting spelled out in DNA code, and a matching double helix on the page whose rungs spell the greeting
- Holidays and observances: New Year's Day, International Mother Language Day, Africa Day, Juneteenth and the start of Kwanzaa
**The 12 greetings**
January: Hujambo (Swahili) · February: Ẹ n lẹ o (Yoruba) · March: Na nga def? (Wolof) · April: Selam (Amharic) · May: Sawubona (Zulu) · June: Asalamelekoume (Mandinka) · July: Ndeewo (Igbo) · August: Azul (Tamazight) · September: Merekyea wo (Akan/Twi) · October: Mhoro (Shona) · November: Manao ahoana? (Malagasy) · December: Mbote (Lingala)
**Details**
- Desktop calendar, 10 × 5 in
- Dark green pages with a different accent color for every month
**Perfect for** language learners, genealogy and DNA-test enthusiasts, teachers, students, and anyone who wants a gift that starts conversations. Also a good fit for classrooms, offices and cultural events.
Say hello in a new language every month.
