CLARIFICATION: Swahili is a Bantu language with a basic Bantu-type grammar and a vocabulary drawn from many Bantu languages. There is no language in East Africa called Sabaki. By far the greatest number of non-Bantu words in Swahili have Arabic origins, but in recent decades English has been catching up.
Swahili developed from a mixture of Bantu languages in East Africa, as well as Arabic due to trade contacts along the coast. Over time, it also incorporated words from other languages such as English, Portuguese, and Hindi.
Swahili is a mixture of Bantu languages, Arabic, and some words from other languages such as Persian, Hindi, Portuguese, and English. It developed along the East African coast through trade interactions between these different linguistic groups.
Swahili is mainly a Bantu language, with significant influences from Arabic due to historical trading relationships along the East African coast.
Swahili is the African language derived from a mixture of Arabic and Bantu languages. It is spoken widely in East Africa and serves as a lingua franca in the region, blending elements of both Arabic vocabulary and Bantu grammar.
Creole languages are actually based on a mixture of different languages, including Spanish and French, but they are not exclusively a blend of those two languages. Creole languages have developed in various parts of the world where people of different linguistic backgrounds have interacted and created a new language to communicate.
Swahili is a blend of Bantu and Arabic cultures. The Bantu influence is reflected in the language's grammar and vocabulary, while Arabic influence is seen in the language's vocabulary, due to historical trade interactions along the Swahili coast.
There is no such language. You are probably thinking of Afrikaans, which is a dialect of Dutch that includes some loan words from English and African languages, but not enough to call it a mixture of those languages.

Yes, Swahili is an indigenous Bantu African language, but as Arabic, Persian, and Indian traders came, their vocabulary intermingled with the Swahili language. Swahili was also originally written in the Arabic alphabet, with further added to the misconception that it's a mixture of Arabic and Bantu languages.It is similar to the way English was bombarded with Latin and French words and roots for hundreds of years. However, Swahili is still not considered to be a creole (mix of languages with native speakers) by linguists, just as English is not considered to be a creole (mix of Germanic and Romance languages).Furthermore, even if Swahili were a creole, it would still be indigenous to Africa because it would have been "born" in Africa.
Italian, like French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian, is a Romance language; that is a language derived from Vulgar Latin, a mixture of Latin and local languages which developed in parallel with classical Latin.
A creole language is a stable, developed language that emerges from a mixture of different languages. It typically occurs in situations where speakers of different languages are brought together and need to communicate. Creole languages often have elements from the languages that contributed to their formation, but they have their own distinct grammar and vocabulary.
The language, Ge'ez, was a mixture of South Arabian, Greek, and Cushitic languages.
There is no language that is a mixture of Arabic Persian Portuguese Hindu and Bantu languages.
Creole languages typically develop from a mixture of different languages and are usually spoken as a mother tongue in a community. They often have simplified grammar and vocabulary compared to the parent languages. Creole languages can be stable and fully developed languages with their own rules and structures.
A mixture of several languages is called a pidgin or a creole. Pidgins typically arise in situations where speakers of different languages need to communicate but do not share a common language. Creoles, on the other hand, develop as pidgins become more established and generationally transmitted, developing more complex grammar and vocabulary.
All the Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) are languages derived from vulgar Latin. Vulgar Latin was a mixture of Latin and local languages which developed in parallel with classical Latin. These evolutions were due to the fact that Latin became an extinct language and that languages evolve.
Afrikaans
Brazilian Portuguese originated from the Portuguese language brought to Brazil by the Portuguese colonizers in the 16th century. Over time, the language evolved and absorbed influences from indigenous languages, African languages, and other immigrant languages, leading to the distinct Brazilian Portuguese dialect spoken today.
