Best Answer

Swahili is the language most commonly spoken in Africa

This answer is both incorrect and irrelevant to the question. The Swahilis (the word comes from the Arabic for coast) are the people along the Indian ocean littoral and offshore islands from Somalia to southern Mozambique, but mainly in Kenya and Tanzania, extending inland along historic trade routes.

The most commonly spoken languages jn Africa are English, French, and Arabic. Swahili, however, is by far the most widely spoken indigenous language, with well over 100 million people who use or understand it.

The Swahili are an ethnic and cultural group predominantly found in East Africa, particularly along the coastal regions of Kenya, Tanzania, and parts of Mozambique. They are known for their rich history, language (Kiswahili), and vibrant coastal culture that has been influenced by various Arabic, Persian, Indian, and African cultures over the centuries.
