Language Facts

The Swahili language and culture is a mixture developed between African and Asiatic people. It originated from Arabs and Persians who moved to the East African coast. The word Swahili means "the coast" and was used by early Arab visitors to the east African coast. "Kiswahili" is the Swahili word for the Swahili language; it stems from "sawāḥil", which is the plural of the Arabic word "sāḥil", which means "coastal dwellers". -Ki is a prefix to nouns that means "language", so Kiswahili then means "coastal language".
