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.
