Swahili language, also called Kiswahili is a Bantu language spoken in the north to the southern border of Tanzania. Swahili has been greatly influenced by Arabic; there are enormous number of Arabic loanwords in the language, including the word Swahili, from Arabic "SAWAHILI" (a plural adjectival form of an Arabic word meaning “of the coast”).
According to the history of the Swahili language, the older view linked to the colonial time states that the Swahili language originate from Arabs and Persians who moved to the East African coast. Given the fact that only the vocabulary can be associated with these groups but the syntax or grammar of the language is Bantu.
