Introduction to Swahili __ "Swahili is a derivative of the Bantu language and
remains loyal to Bantu grammar, however its vocabulary has been influenced by
Arabic (through culture and trade) and more recently by English (through
technology). The word swahili comes from the Arabic word for coast, since the
language developed along the East African coast where several distinctive
dialects still remain. Swahili has been described as "One of the twelve great
languages of the world" and is spoken by millions of people in Central and
Eastern Africa." this plus a lot more. - From Jeremy Youngman -
