what do they speak in tanzania
With so many groups in the country, it may seem that communicating with the locals is impossible, but Tanzanians proudly speak Kiswahili as well as their native and national language. As you culturally tour in Tanzania, you may have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet some of the native peoples. The largest group is the Sukuma people in northwest Tanzania near Lake Victoria, a people who live from fishing, cotton farming and cattle herding.
Swahili serves as a national language of four nations: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Shikomor, the official language in Comoros and also spoken in Mayotte (Shimaore), is related to Swahili. Swahili is also one of the official languages of the African Union and East African Community.
