It is the lingua franca  of the African Great Lakes region, which consists of the countries of Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Swahili arose as a language of trade along the east coast of Africa, and it remains a strong regional contender in this domain even in the present day.
