This
course introduces the student to the history of the Swahili language. The
Swahili region in East Africa has a long history that began in ancient times,
but passed through its most important stages after Arab, Persian and Indian
traders began flocking to it in the seventh century AD to establish cities and
commercial settlements, which reached their peak of prosperity after they were
transformed into many small states ruled
by Muslim princes starting from the thirteenth century, the most important of
which is the Sultanate of Oman, whose rule expanded to include all of the
Swahili region before it was seized by the British empire until the twentieth
century. What is meant by the term ''Swahili'' is the eastern coast of Africa.
Where
this region is distinguished by a special culture and civilization that differs
from the culture of other parts of the African continent. The geographical
borders of this region begin from the coastal cities eastern Somalia and extend south to the state
of Mozambique, where beaches and islands belonging to six modern countries
follow.
