'''Swahili''' (also called '''Kiswahili''') is a Bantu language widely spoken in East [[Africa]], [[Earth]]. Swahili is the mother tongue of the Swahili people who inhabit a 1,500 kilometers (931.5 miles) 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. | |||
It is a secondary language of the [[UNSC]]. Though it is widely spoken in its native areas around the modern [[East African Protectorate]], the use of Swahili is being gradually diminished as universal [[English]] is being accepted throughout the UNSC. | |||
