Kiswahili, also known as Swahili, developed through interactions between Arabic traders and East African coastal communities. It became a lingua franca in the region due to its usefulness in trade. Over time, it incorporated words from Arabic, Portuguese, English, and other languages, resulting in a rich and diverse vocabulary. Today, Kiswahili is spoken by millions of people in East Africa and is recognized as one of the official languages of the African Union.
