The Swahili language is spoken by over 100 million people worldwide, primarily in East and Central Africa. It is the national language of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is used in many neighboring countries. Swahili, with its Bantu-language origins, has evolved to incorporate words from English, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, and German.
