Swahili

The Swahili people are Bantu, Afro-Arab, and Comorian ethnic groups who live in the Swahili coast, the East African coast across southern Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, and northern Mozambique, and various archipelagos off the coast, such as Zanzibar, Lamu, and the Comoro Islands. They speak Swahili as their first language, and most of them are Muslims. The Swahili culture has developed along with the trading with the Arabs over centuries.
