Moroni is the seat of the government of the Union of the Comoros, an island nation in the Indian Ocean.
The Comoros archipelago was colonized by the French between 1841 and 1912, until 1974 where three major islands choose to gain independence. The fourth major island, Mayotte, refused to be separated from France and is still part of France. It gained the status of French département in 2011.
Comoros is located in South Africa islands that have separated years ago.
Because it used to be a French colony, so the French language was present for many years.
Even now, the island of Mayotte in the Comoros archipelago is still under France's jurisdiction and does not belong to the Union of the Comoros, having requested to stay French in a 1974 and 1976 referendum at an overwhelming 99.4% of votes, and requested in another referendum in 2009 to become an oversea department of France in 2011.
Comorian is spoken and common in Mayotte, but is not an official language there.
In the Union of the Comoros, Arabic, Comorian and French are the three official languages across all islands.
