SWAHILI The East African littoral, including the islands of Lamu, Mombasa,
Pemba, Zanzibar and Mafia, stretches from the Somali-Kenya border in the north
to the central coastline of Mozambique. This narrow coastal strip, which is
separated from the up-country areas of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique by a
300-mile expanse of arid land, is the homeland of the 2.4 million Swahili people
to whom the Swahili language is the mother tongue.
The Swahili are far from being alone in this geographical area. They share it
with nearly 5 million Northeast Bantu peoples, who live mainly in villages along
the coastal strip of Kenya and Tanzania. In Mozambique, the coastal Islamic
people, while speaking largely Swahili, are nevertheless culturally more heterogeneous
than those to the north because of their greater integration with various
southern Bantu groups such as the Yao, Makonde and Makena (see Bantu, Central
Tanzanian; Yao).
The Swahili live in the cities and towns, principally Lamu Town, Malindi,
Mombasa, Vanga, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar Town, long the centers of trade
