Why Swahili?

Swahili, also known as Kiswahili, is a Bantu language and the first language of the Swahili people. It is a language spoken in many African countries including;

Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 

Estimates of the total number of Swahili speakers vary widely, from 50 million to over 100 million. Swahili serves as a national language of three nations: Tanzania, Kenya, and the DRC. Swahili is also one of the working languages of the African Union and officially recognized as a lingua franca of the East African Community.

 

Today the language is spoken widely in the larger Eastern Africa region. It is also an official language of the East African Community which comprises Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan.
