The Swahili People of Kenya and Tanzania.
This video is an investigation into the Swahili people. The Swahili people are some of the easiest-going people you will ever meet. Unlike those aggressive high-strung Nairobi peeps, these guys are as laid-back as a cat in a sunbeam. Warning, don't mistake their laid-back vibe for an invitation to make them mad. The amount of colourful insults that will come your way will leave you traumatized.There's even a whole Italian colony in Malindi all because of how accommodative these people are.
The Swahili are also known for their linguistic prowess in Swahili which is only natural since it’s their first language. The way this language flows from their lips is mesmerizing to say the least. It's like poetry, but with extra swag. I definitely believe Swahili is the most melodious language I have ever heard. Congratulations if you manage to bag a Swahili lady because they are known for their royal handling of their men. Their bedrooms skills are so on point; if there were an Olympics for bedroom athletics, they'd be taking home the gold, silver, and bronze. They are drop dead stunning and their bodies are works of art with the curves in all the right places. You should see how their bodies hug their long dresses when they dance Taarab. They are also gentle, affectionate and their skills in the kitchen are legendary.
Basic Demographics.
The Swahili people, renowned for their vibrant culture and historical significance, inhabit the East African coast, stretching from southern Somalia, Kenyan and Tanzanian coasts, to northern Mozambique. They can be found in as far as Comoros and northern tip of Madagascar. The native Swahili number over 2 million. If you consider all the second language speakers Swahili is the most widely spoken African language at over 300 million speakers. They are predominantly Sunni Muslim, adhering to a unique blend of Islam infused with local customs. They also were among the first practitioners of Islam among sub-Saharan people. They are also multiracial, possessing genetic input mainly from the Bantu, Arabs, Indians, Persians and Portuguese.
Origins, Phenotype and Genetic Makeup.
A new analysis of medieval DNA has revealed that around the turn of the first millennium, Swahili ancestors from Africa and Asia began intermingling and having children, giving rise to a Swahili civilization with a multiracial identity. It is believed that the Swahili came about as a result of relations between Omani Arab, Persian, other Asian traders and Bantu women. I guess those men couldn’t resist those Bantu curves.
Phenotypically, Swahili individuals exhibit a diverse range of features, from various skin tones to hair textures.
Melodious Language.
The Swahili language, also known as Kiswahili, is the glue that binds the diverse Swahili communities together. It serves as a lingua franca across the region, enabling communication between people of various ethnic backgrounds. Kiswahili is primarily a Bantu language that has borrowed words and expressions from Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, and English, reflecting the history of trade and cultural exchange. The Swahili may be a small group but their impact through the spread of the Swahili language is enormous. Today, over 300 million speak the language all over the world. Here is a sample of this melodious language.
Culture.
Swahili culture, like the Swahili language, has a Bantu core but has also taken from foreign influences. Swahili architecture, with its beautifully carved doors and lovely courtyards, exemplifies the confluence of African and Arab influences. Taarab music embodies the essence of Swahili culture and history via its melodious tunes and poetic lyrics. Its melodies and orchestration are influenced by Arab and Indian music; however Western instruments such as guitars are occasionally utilized. Traditional dances, which feature a lot of sensual pelvis movement and are frequently performed at weddings and other festive occasions, are a vivid expression of communal joy and unity.
Swahili cuisine is influenced by Indian and Arabic cultures, and it is another representation of Swahili culture. Many meals rely on staple items including rice, coconut, and spices. Samosas and tropical fruits are also available.Finally, Swahili culture may be seen in their vibrant attire. The Kanga is one such example. Kanga is also known as the Leso. It is a bright garment worn by both men and women inside most Swahili houses. The messages written on them are a manifestation of Swahili collective knowledge and humour.
Much love from Dallas Texas (Ugandan by origin). I'm a proud East African
💪🏾🔥
Their language is literally everywhere, lingua franca of South Eastern Africa, safi sana!
I love Swahili history, culture and their language.
Thanks for the education AA.. You keep winning with every video.. like the Springboks..
Love it. Such Vibrant culture. Thank You for doing the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this video! Nia
I don’t understand the hateful comments and eraser of my people; I am Swahili and my language is Kiswahili. I’m often told by other Africans that I’m not African especially from those coming from the west of Africa which baffles me. I know my history and it was not tragic I also know my mixed heritage we’ve kept good records. It’s obvious the people shown in this clip are a mix of Swahili and Bantu people who adopted the Swahili culture as many people moved to the coastline areas after the 60’s for work. Furthermore I don’t appreciate the sexualisation of my people at the beginning of this clip. Lastly the cutting of the hip dance kukata kiuno (aka winding) is done in segregated weddings notice you see woman in the clips and not men but now exploited by pop-stars like Diamond who exploits Swahili culture.
We need to keep to ourselves ppl are ruining our identity, changing up our language etc. Swahilis for swahilis💯🤘🏾
Beautiful language
Beautiful language and people, has anybody ever compared Swahili/Polynesian/Melanesian languages and people???
Hi yes I did that research I have come to the conclusions about the fact that the origin of Swahili is a south Asian language special from the Austronesian root and more connected with Polynesian modern language such as Tahitian and Hawaiian. I'm going to make a video of it by the end of 2024 if I get time for it.
Wait a min.Swahili is a connective Language spoken
In east Africa in addition to individual tribal languages.It was brought about by the Bantu tribe and the Arab influence.If am not totally wrong.
most of Arab influence actually came later on when they settled, the language itself was already spoken long before the Arabs arrived and settled. Though the culture/language did transform, its origin is mostly bantu
It is quite interesting how tribes are classified in Africa, for instance in Burundi, we have small number of people who are native Swahili speakers including myself around the shores of Lake Tanganyika, basically they have no any other African language (well Kirundi is kind of second language learned at school) except Kiswahili, and believe me, they have very much similar swahili culture like they 90% muslim and their cuisine is whole another level in the country - the was actually a debate about this few years ago, how would you classifify these people, I for one I wouldnt wanna be called Hutu or Tutsi when it comes to Burundian tribes, that is for sure.
I'm so happy that Swahili is trying to improve their real living.
Best language
Wish we had still continued Swahili in Uganda, our swzhili is different then Kenya and Tanzania ❤
She is stunning
Whats the song in the background it’s dope
E1b1a haplogroup 🔥🔥
For all the people salt in the comment section saying Swahili is just language and not people are you stupid, uneducated, or just a hater? yes, Swahili is both language and people just like Somali is both language and people or Malagasy is both language and people, or how Afar are people and language at the same time. Every language starts somewhere and has natives who use that language as their mother tongue. Swahilis are mostly Muslim Sunnis just like Somalis and that is one of the things we share, also they borrow some Somali culture like wearing Somali Dirac or Baati so big ups to Swahilis and much love from Somalia. Also doesn't Malindi belong to Somalia just like Wajeer, Gaarisa, Luma Island, and Mandheera? People say French is the romantic language but I believe Spanish and Swahili are. I love their language and want to learn in the future.
Malindi does not belong to somalia…
ok@@isaiahmwereru8833
You are just bitter with baseless facts.
@@AndrewKaranja-kj1mo bitter about what🤔🤔
we’re not borrowing from somali culture, we swahilis have been wearing deras since pre colonialism
I being to Mombasa in kenya that city looks full mixture full
It’s astonishing how some in the comments deny the Swahili people as a nation, despite their role as founders of a prominent medieval African civilization that ruled the entire eastern coast of Africa and dominated Silk Road trade.
The Swahili are an essential part of Eastern African history and culture. Show some respect and humility.
In 2024 we say 'enslaved person'. The noun slave implies that she was, at her core, a slave. The adjective enslaved reveals that though in bondage, bondage was not her core existence. Furthermore, she was enslaved by the actions of another. Therefore, we use terms like enslaver, rather than master, to indicate one's effort to exert power over another. This was a lot of information. Thanks for sharing.
We have to stop I get what you're saying but we don't have to correct people's videos. As a descendant of enslaved black people it's starting to become petty.
One problem with this video when he says pale, almost Arab looking that’s problematic, because Arabs are not pale they are very dark skin people. Of course, they are ad mixtures among them from mixing with Turkish people.
Is there a tribe called Swahili or isn’t Swahili just a language?
There is the coastal Swahili tribe and the language they have exported to the rest of the Africa, Kiswahili.
@@AfroArtistaFilmsUtter BS. Where's the proof
Jina langu ni Juliet!
The people are being described by the Language they speak; it's just as the people of England are often referred to as the English because they Speak English. 🤔
They retain their Africaness for the most part.
I enjoy working with the coastal population, especially the Mumbaspeople. They are incredibly hospitable, open-minded, and skilled at cooking a variety of dishes. They are also very good at being housewives high level of jealousy. However, I doubt that when it comes to Somali swahili, they are not apart of the swahili people but rather, they are the result of intermarrying Somali Bantus, Somalis, Portuguese, and Arabs.
Sadly this video is entirely incorrect. There is no Swhaili tribe. Swahaili is just a dialect spoken by various people in East and Central Africa that evolved into a language.
Swahili is a tribe. How come there is a language without the native ppl who invented it
You are very dumb!!
You're totally wrong, in zanzibar there were a dynasty of sultan from the wahadimu called mwiniye mkuu, this people identify back then as waungwana (now waswahili) and they came retrace their root back to the shirazi who founded sultanate of kilwa, like a lot of people in every city state of the coast (mombasa/lamu/kilwa etc.)
In 19th they were the people who conducted trade (ivory and slaves) along all east africa down to the greats lakes and by the way they diffuse their langages which is kiswahili, and THEN people have developed their own dialect of it.
But because it was adopted as a lingua franca you dont want to recognize the greatness and the specific identity of the people of the coast who bring it first and try to act like the langage was every where from the start which doesnt make any sense.
Do people from Rwanda 🇷🇼
Wow Mansha Allah same off them looks just like Somaliaan beautiful people 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🇩🇯🇸🇴
Sawahili tribe is a mix of Bantu and Arabs from 1500.
Swahili is not a tribe. Get it right
I think you should read a book! 😂
@@AfroArtistaFilms basing on my knowledge, Swahili is a mixture of coastal languages adapted by the traders during the expeditions of the East African coastal trade, therefore those who claim to be of the Swahili tribe are lost entities because It was never a tribe. Do your research
@@taakaimmaculate6554 Just type Swahili tribe on Wikipedia and you will be answered. 😄
@@AfroArtistaFilms no need, the truth is within me
@@taakaimmaculate6554like 😐
Swahili is not tribe is a language
A simple google search will debunk your statement 😄
😂 Kiswahili is the language... Swahili refers to the people, culture and everything in between...
All upcountry people think Swahili is only a language,pliz name me one language with no natives😅😅 for your infor swahili land existed before 1300,go read history of ibn battuta a morrocan explorer
its both people and language just like Somali is people and language or Malagasy is language or people.
It’s a tribe Swahili people are not the same as the other tribes on mainland Tanzania and Kenya- when people see my family they are unsure of where we are from even mainland Tanzanians and Kenyans until we speak. Somalis, Ethiopians, Sudanese confuse me for their people. When I visit family in the Middle East people refer to me as khaleeji as Arabs from the gulf countries tend to be better at recognising Swahili people. I am sometimes asked if I’m mixed race Jamaican by people who are confused. I understand the confusion as I have a very mixed heritage- my parents, grandparents and some of my great grandparents were born jn Zanzibar they have good records and clear birth certificates explaining their ethnicity we have documents as old as 18th century. I have largely a hadharami (Oman/ yemen), Iranian and Bantu mix. My husband has largely Omani, Indian and Bantu mix. We are the Swahili people. The Swahili language comprises of words mainly from Bantu, Arabic, Hindi , English and German was birthed by the Swahili people and is now adopted as the language of the African Union. Dialects vary, with more Arabic words used in the Swahili coast- more Bantu words near the Congo basin. Historically the Swahili people are traders and had access to various ethnicities around the world because the Indian Ocean and Red Sea is easier to navigate.
The Swahili or kiswahili language was first communicated in sign language which was started by the Portuguese in the East Africa's coastal region before the arrival of the Arabs.It was later translated into a written and spoken language under an accord,still maintaining it's neutrality.
Originally Swahili referred to the sign language, kiswahili to the written and spoken version,translators as waswahili and written by Portuguese scholars(There were no African scholars then).It was later taken over by the Arabs who contributed much to it's development, African's did nothing to the development of Kiswahili.The Portuguese invented kiswahili and should hold patent right.
No! It is bcoz of our BANTU CULTURE! Bantu's are hospitable in nature from our forefathers Daudi!
dont know if there are swahili in tanzania the shirazi in zanzibar can come close ,just amazed how many people in the comment don't know swahili is a tribe. visit coastal kenya from lamu to mombasa
There's no mix ress make swahili people,swahili is African bantu people There's nothing about Arab people or Persian people swahili is the before Arab or Persian come to east Africa.
There isn't a Swahili tribe anywhere Swahili is a language
Wrong
The language is bantu ,swahili is a corrupted arabic word .
It is a bit confusing.. How can there be the Zulu language without the Zulu people?
@@dochere-bolelwang They are crazy. The fact that there is an African language that is popular gets on their nerves. There is no people-less language apart from Latin. Every language has a people that own it. Ignore these pseudo-racists.
Swahili is a bantu language with borrowed words from foreign languages mainly arabic, english, portuguese, german etc.
Mixing corrupt behavior with muslim women is insulting to the Muslim way and community.
Kiswahili is mostly arabic. Sahel means the ocean front
Swahili is mainly bantu, but borrowed a some words from Arabic.
@@SagangaKapayaactually it’s not the structure of sentences is but the words are largely Arabic in fact it was originally written in Arabic and recently adopted by the Africa union
@@salmaom2181 I am from Tanzania, a bantu myself, I know what I am saying. Swahili is a bantu language, it has borrowed words from Arabic just like any other language would normally do, mainly due to islamic influence on the coast of eastern Africa. But historically before the arabs came here, other ancient travelers to this region found the bantus speaking Swahili, especially in Kilwa. A civilization was already thriving here among bantus when asiatic travellers came here. It borrowed Arabic words mostly from Oman Arabic, Hindi, Persian, Portuguese, etc which are about 15%, especially words that were used for islamic religious purposes and trade. The rest of the Vocabularies are bantu (85%). So yes, it is an African bantu language.
@@SagangaKapaya am arabic speaker and swahili is my mother tongue its majority arabic just pronounced wrongful especially in mailand kenya out of their religious hate for muslims as they deem Arabic as Islamic. Mimi najua lahja 6 za lugha ya kiswahili that sentence cotains 66% arabic you get it
@@badilamu if that was the case then we Swahili speakers would understand Arabic when spoken by arabs. The fact is. We don't. Even people who come speaking arabic here would have to translate it into Swahili for people to understand what they are saying.
Swahili its just a language not trube plz
Where are suwahili area
Tz
Shukren 🙏🙏🙏
@@abduarage5010
Mia mia
i need viza
The swahili people are not sunny moslem this is big lie bro.
Swahili is not actribe but an ethnic group
There's no tribe like Swahili. It's a language that's spoken in east Africa but it doesn't belong to any specific tribe. Do your homework!!
Swahilis are a distinct people and they are the only ones who speak swahili natively.
There's something called "Proto Swahili", originally known as Kingozi. Kingozi is the basis of the Swahili language
there is more shona words in swahili language,
You must be delusional,name me one language that has no natives 😂😂
@@user-te2sq3xw2f you are right about that and I have been wondering how so?
KiSwahili is a language - ?
Where it is spoken - existed the SWAHILI COAST -east Afrjcan Slave trade - Islamic controlled by the Sultan of Oman , who moved his summer palace to the Island of Zanzibar .
,it is merely a second language to their tribal languages - like Kikuyu ,Kisii,Luhya,Maasai.Luo ,Meru,Kamba,Pare ,who also all speak their tribal languages - then the language of mzungu (english).
Wrong, wrong, even for a country like Burundi, which is very very far from the Indian ocean coast, we do have very small number of native Swahili Speakers including myself, I only started learning Burundi tribal and national language (Kirundi) when I went to school at the age of 6. But I dont think i ever identify myself as Swahili, well now I can, cause growing up if you say you are Swahili is like you are not Burundian because Swahili was considered a foreign language of uneducated people .... so you can understand the irony, Africa is coming a long away! hahahahahhaahahah
Delusional,name me one language without natives😅😅😅😅 Swahili is a tribe and has sub tribes,go read history of earlier explores like ibn battuta of 1300,others dating upto 790 A.D talking of Swahili land
The Swahili had sultan who’s exiled in the town of Portsmouth I know my history
@@salmaom2181 the SULTAN (of OMAN) was owner of the SWAHILI SLAVE TRADE 👀if no other Tribe then they identify as Swahili (tribe) -
@@guychase5842 You're totally wrong, Before the sultan of Oman said bin sultan came in zanzibar there were a dynasty of sultan from the wahadimu called mwiniye mkuu, this people identify back then as waungwana or washirazi (now waswahili) and they came retrace their root back to the mahdali sultan of kilwa, like a lot of people in every city state of the coast (mombasa/lamu/kilwa etc.)
And the sultan of oman came, they were the people who conducted trade (ivory and slaves) along all east africa down to the greats lakes and by the way they diffuse their langages which is kiswahili. Now that kiswahili has been adopted as a lingua franca you dont want to recognize the greatness of the people of the coast who bring it and try to act like the langage was every where from the start which doesnt make any sense.
Swahili means Coastal language
No it’s a people and culture
Anybody he can be swahili if you like to be swahili just a language speaking make you swahili,
It's a tribe
There are some misinformation in your video
Eg?
Swahili is not a tribe it's a language.
Borrow few Arabic words....wrong. 70% of the language originates from Arabic.
Swahili...originates from Arabic word Sawahil which means the coastal beach. That's why you will find only people from the coast they claim to be Swahili, no one from interior will say so.
SWAHILI is a coust ppl Lamu Malindi Mombasa Sanzibar Tanga, ,, Swahili is a tribe, and Kswahili is a Lanvuage
Originellement parlant le swahili vient du mélange entre l'arabe et des langues africaines. Le swahili est né au Kanya, a grandi en Tanzanie et s'est effondré à l'est du Congo-DRC. Autres zones d'extension de cette langue : uganda, rwanda, urundi, Mozambique, comoro,...Parler d'une tribue dite swahili est une distorsion historique.
Actually it’s from Zanzibar not Kenya
I HATE the world "tribe'.
Swahili is a language not a race and not a tribe.
Hansa sounds better. Amharic is second best
