- Swahili is the official language of Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya, as well as the African Union (along with English, French, Arabic, Spanish, and Portuguese). In the Democratic Republic of the Congo it is considered a “national language”. It is used by some 80 million people in East Africa and is considered their “lingua franca” in a territory where there are dozens of other languages. Interestingly, only 2% of the local population consider it their mother tongue in sociolinguistic surveys. By some estimates, Swahili speakers could number between 120 and 150 million people. A steady increase in Swahili speakers is expected, thanks to the importance given mainly by educational institutions in Kenya and Tanzania, where it is the official language, as well as the growing interest on the part of the Afro-American community in its study and dissemination as a language. of pan-African construction.
