Swahili (or kiswahili, kiswahili) is the largest of the Bantu languages and one of the most significant languages of the African continent; the official language of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. It is also common in Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Somalia, Comoros, Mozambique, Malawi and Oman. According to various sources, Swahili is native to 2.5-5 million people. Another 50-70 million use it as a second or third language of communication.
The international word "safari" came to us from the Swahili language (in turn borrowed from Arabic), and means "journey", "trip". In addition, very few people know such famous Disney heroes from the animated cartoon "The Lion King", for example, the lion cub Simba (with the Swahili "lion"), Rafiki ("friend") or the leader of Pumba ("lazy"). And the hilarious tunes of Hakuna Matata with Swahili mean "no problem". And tea in Swahili will be the same as we have - "tea."
