There is a misconception that Swahili borrowed some of the terms or words from other foreign language.the truth is those foreign languages actually borrowed from us.
One thing for sure, 100% of Swahili grammar is pure African language.
Second the first language to be spoken in this earth it was African language.eg semitic.nobody must lie to you that semitic is Asian of the Canaanites, Phoenicians or Hebrews or even Arabic.
Semitic is pure African and the best part of it,it was spoken in eastern Africa, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya , Tanzania and Sudan,
The people of kush,that means Ethiopia and somalia stuck with the original language of the world with its originality, Amharic,tigrinya and somali languages.those are some of the original semitic language remaining.
Now ,becouse of trade people of the southern part,especially the bantus modernized their language so they can be able to deal with the foreigners and thats how swahili was born
example the word salaam.its pure african.amharic,swahili,arabic.and even hebrew use it
i even found out kiberiti its amharic.
So kiswahili its pure African use terms/words from other African language and didnt borrow from i don t know Hindu or Arabic.
My fellow brothers/sisters you will be surpised to know that arabic is actually pure african language but we were made to believe it originated in middle east.Thats topic for another day.good day
