Swahili (also called Kiswahili) is a Bantu language widely spoken in East Africa. Swahili is the mother tongue of the Swahili people who inhabit a 1500 km stretch of the East African coast from southern Somalia to northern Mozambique. It is spoken by over 50 million people of whom there are approximately five million first-language speakers and thirty to fifty million second-language speakers.Swahili has become a lingua franca for East Africa and surrounding areas.
The name Swahili comes from the plural of the Arabic word sahel ساØÙ: sawahil سÙاØÙ meaning "boundary" or "coast" (used as an adjective to mean "coastal dwellers" or, by extension, "coastal language").
