Two elephants presented by India to Zanzibar Africa, created both a sensation and a language problem on the Indian Ocean island. The elephants Indirani, eight and Govindan, five, gave delight to Zanzibari children and adults, who had never seen an elephant on their island. The problem arose when their Indian trainer attempted to hand the jumbos over to Zanzibari Keepers, who speak only Swahili.
The Elephants understood only commands in HIndustani.
The Zanzibari's problem was whether to teach Hindustani to the keepers or Swahili to the elephants.
