Kiswahili Swahili language is the only language in Africa that can technically be classified as a true ‘Lingua Franca’. Unlike most other African languages it is a non tribal language, rather it is more of an intra-national language of the Eastern Central and Southern Africa.
The language spreads from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zanzibar, Rwanda, Burundi, Eastern Zaire, Northern Zaire, Northern Malawi, Northern Mozambique, Oman and northern Zambia to as far as Somalia. It is currently estimated that well over 100 million people use Swahili for communication.
