Swahili is the native language of a number of ethnic groups that reside across the Indian Ocean coastline between northern Mozambique and southern Somalia across many extended stretches. Mother tongue speakers of Swahili can also be found in the Comoros Islands. Native speakers of Swahili make up about 5-10 million, but the figure becomes bigger when you take into account that Swahili is one of the dominant languages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and East Africa. It serves as the official language of four countries, and is the only African origin language that is used officially by the African Union among its working languages.
