:w:

I'm not the best to ask but what i do know is that swahili doesnt have like the X in somali nor do they have the ayn like in arabic, and most of the pronounciation is kinda long and they have kinda nasal sounds at the end of words, you'll hear it when you go there!
Oh the vowels it's the opposite to somali the A makes an E sound... Allahu a'lam bout the rest.
