The common (customary) English greeting (salutation) "good morning" roughly translates to "habari za asubuhi" or "asubuhi njema" or "subalkheri".
Of the three versions stated above "habari za asubuhi " is perhaps the most commonly used and widely recognized in most Swahili speaking regions of East and Central Africa such as most regions of Kenyaincluding the capital Nairobi.
NOTES:a. Habari za asubuhi? is a question (what's the news this morning?) and requires an answer: nzuri or njema (both meaning good), or something else that means the news is good.
b. Asubuhi njema is a departure wish (like the American "Have a nice day"), not a greeting.c. This contributor learned Subalkheri, a proper morning greeting, 45+ years ago but has never heard anyone use it.

Would you translate Swahili phrase 50 milliya mafans?
It's not Swahili but a rather bad attempt at Swahili-izing an English phrase: it doesn't quite rise to the level of pidgin Swahili.I guess it means "50 million fans." Fans would probably mean followers of a football or other sports team, but it could mean 50 million of the electrical appliance.50 million in Swahili: milioni hamsini.
Is Swahili an indigenous language of Africa?
Yes, Swahili is an indigenous Bantu African language, but as Arabic, Persian, and Indian traders came, their vocabulary intermingled with the Swahili language. Swahili was also originally written in the Arabic alphabet, with further added to the misconception that it's a mixture of Arabic and Bantu languages.It is similar to the way English was bombarded with Latin and French words and roots for hundreds of years. However, Swahili is still not considered to be a creole (mix of languages with native speakers) by linguists, just as English is not considered to be a creole (mix of Germanic and Romance languages).Furthermore, even if Swahili were a creole, it would still be indigenous to Africa because it would have been "born" in Africa.
