Abstract

Swahili is the most extensively spoken language of the hundreds of Bantu languages in sub-Saharan Africa. It is considered to be the closest language in Africa to a native lingua franca and is essential for effective communication in the East Africa region. As the national language of both Tanzania and Kenya, the importance of Swahili is significant, prompting the NSEP, National Security Education Program, to list Swahili as one of the languages critical to national security.
