Answer 2

Bantu
Concentrations in three main geographical regions - Western Kenya and Lake Victoria region (Luhya, Kisii), east of Rift Valley, (Kikuyu, Embu, Kamba) and Coastal belt (Mijikenda).

Nilotic
Represented by the Luo, Kalenjin, Maasai and related groups. The Kalenjin linguistic group is concentrated in the area north to south and west of the central highlands, while the Luos are concentrated in the Lake Victoria Basin.

Cushitic
Somali speaking group occupying eastern portions of the arid and semi-arid north eastern Kenya. Rendille and Orma speaking groups occupy the north western part.
30 distinct languages or dialects are spoken in Kenya.

Swahili
Swahili or Kiswahili has become the most extended indigenous language in Africa, with some 50 million speakers. Currently it is the official and national language in Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda it is the national language, since official communications and administration use English. Thanks to the relationships of the East African countries with the neighboring countries, Swahili is also spoken in some regions of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South Africa.

The name of this language has its origin in sâhils-awâhil, arab term that designated the East African coast and the islands, the region where this language was born. Swahili exhibits a great difference with the rest of native tongues: it is not actually an ethnic language, neither it is the patrimony of a given tribe. Although Swahili is the native tongue for the Bajun, Fundi, Ozi, Pate, Vumba, Mvita, Shela, Amu and Siyu, what we call the Swahili people is really a community resulting from mestization among the ancient Arabs and Persians, who reached the coast starting from the 6th century, and the coastal Bantus that had arrived nearly 1,000 years before from the inlands. The fusion gave rise to a culture, a people and a language, which in Kenya has seven dialects and three sub-dialects.

Dating the origins of Swahili is not an easy task. It seems clear that the language was spoken at the coast during the 13th century. Some authors propose a much more ancient origin: in his work "Journey through the Erithraean Sea", a greek trader named Diogene who visited the East African coast in the year 110 A.D. told that the arab traders who regularly sailed the coast talked to the natives in their local language, which could represent the first historical reference to Swahili.

Though it was initially transcribed in arab writing, the origin of Swahili lies on the Bantu language, as shown by its grammar and syntax. Possibly, the absence of writing among the natives made that the first written texts in Swahili adopted the arab alphabet, which reached the coast first. Afterwards, the language was enriched with some arab terms, possibly when the Swahili population started reading the Koran.
