Swahili is widely used as a lingua franca in:
(1) Tanzania, where it is the language of administration and primary education;
(2) Kenya, where it is, after English, the main language for these purposes;
(3) Congo (Kinshasa), where a form of Swahili is one of the four languages of administration, the main language for this purpose being French; and
(4) Uganda, where the main language is again English.
Swahili has been greatly influenced by Arabic; there are an enormous number of Arabic loanwords in the language, including the word swahili, from Arabic sawāḥilī (a plural adjectival form of an Arabic word meaning “of the coast”).
