About This Service

Translating English language to Swahili, and Swahili to English.

  • Swahili is spoken as a native language by about 5 million people (ca. 0.07% of the world’s population). For many East and Central Africans, Swahili is often the second language, and fulfills a key role as the lingua franca in the region. Therefore, it is difficult to supply the total number of Swahili speakers. According to various estimates, it ranges from 50 to 100 million people.
  • Kiswahili has official status in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. This language is spoken in several other African states, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and Burundi.
  • Swahili is a member of the Bantu languages group, which is part of the Niger-Congo language family. This language began to evolve on the eastern coast of Africa most likely in the 8th century AD with the arrival of the Bantu peoples from Central Africa, who interacted with the settlers from the Arabic Peninsula (hence there are Arabic influences in Swahili). In the colonial period, Kiswahili developed largely thanks to the British administration, whose members used the language to communicate with the indigenous population. In the 20th century, Swahili served as an identity marker of Tanzanians and Kenyans when their countries became sovereign states.
  • Swahili is a highly diversified language. Some of its varieties are not intelligible to speakers of Kiswahili from more remote geographical regions. The standard variety is based on the Kiunguja dialect spoken in Zanzibar. Swahili is regulated by the National Swahili Council (BAKITA) in Tanzania and the National Kiswahili Association (CHAKITA) in Kenya.
  • Swahili is an official language of the African Union and the East African Community.
