About Swahili
Swahili is a Bantu language spoken by about 35 million. Swahili is an official language of Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya and is used as a lingua franca throughout East Africa.
The name Swahili comes from the Arabic word sawahili (coasts) and the language contains a lot of vocabulary from Arabic, Persian, Malagasy, English, German and Portuguese.
The earliest known manuscript in Swahili, a poetic epic, was written in the Arabic script and dates from 1728. During the 19th century Swahili was used as the main language of administration by the European colonial powers in East Africa and under their influence the Latin alphabet was increasingly used to write it.
In the world of interpreting and translation services, rare languages present unique challenges and opportunities. These languages, often spoken by small or isolated communities, are not widely known, or studied compared to more mainstream languages. However, they are just as important when it comes to facilitating communication and understanding across cultures.
