The Internet Living Swahili Dictionary is a collaborative work by people all over the world. Together we are working to establish new dictionaries of the Swahili language. Kiswahili is the most widely spoken African language, with 50 million speakers in East Africa and Central Africa. In addition to Tanzania, including Zanzibar, and Kenya, many people speak Swahili as a first or second language in Uganda, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, and Congo (formerly Zaire).
