Between five to 15 million consider Swahili their mother tongue, but the total number of people who speak it have reached over 200 million by recent estimates. 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.

In 2021, UNESCO designated the 7th of July as Kiswahili Language Day. Tanzania specifically requested the July 7 as it was on this day in 1954 that the ruling party of the nation recognized Swahili as a key contributor to its fight for independence.
The Swahili lexicon carries a strong Arabic influence, with as much as 35% of its vocabulary coming from the language. In fact, the oldest extant text in Swahili is written in Arabic script, dating back to 1711. Due to German colonial administration, which formalized the language on the institutional level, Swahili uses the Latin script today.
Unlike most African languages, Swahili isn’t tonal, which makes it easier to learn for English speakers. It is also easy to read, as all words are pronounced as they are written. One defining feature of the Swahili language is the propensity for metaphoric expression in the form of methali.
Did you know that one of the most iconic Disney lines is in Swahili? The 1994 animated feature film The Lion King brought the expression “Hakuna Matata” to worldwide prominence with its titular song about the “no worries” meaning it carries.

Sijambo / I am fine / No worries
Kwaheri – Goodbye
Tafadhali – Please
Asante – Please / Thank you
Asante kwa kushukuru – You’re welcome
Samahani – I’m sorry / Excuse me
Afya / Maisha marefu – Cheers! (Health / Long life)
