Swahili, which belongs to the Bantu family of languages, is spoken as a mother-tongue on the east coast of Africa from the southern part of Somalia to the northern areas of Msumbiji (Mozambique) including the islands of Lamu, Pemba, Zanzibar, Mafia and the Comoros.

Spoken extensively in Tanzania, Kenya, some parts of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo, Swahili has a long literary tradition, expressed in earlier centuries in the Arabic script, and is rich in oral literature. It is the national language of Tanzania and an official language of Kenya.Ê

Along with proven excellence in other disciplines, such as religious studies, anthropology, art and archaeology, and history, theÊSwahili and ...Êprogramme offered byÊSOAS University of LondonÊoffers students an unparalleled range of options in choosing their second subject of study.Ê
