Swahili and the Bantu Languages

The Bantu languages are spoken across vast areas of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa and dominate the southern half of the African continent. In their geographical extent, they come into contact with representatives of all the other major African language families: Afroasiatic and Nilo-Saharan languages in the north-east, Khoisan in the south (and disputably in the north-east due to the presence of Sandawe in Tanzania) and its closest relatives among the Niger-Congo languages in the north-west
