The Swahili Language
Region Spoken: Sub-Saharan Africa
Swahili proficiency supports U.S. engagement across a region of growing economic and strategic importance, where trade, investment, and security interests are expanding. CLS participants study Swahili while learning how it operates as a shared language across countries and communities.
Curious about where CLS participants learn and engage each year? We confirm program sites each spring. Until then, explore the locations and virtual institutes that have hosted CLS participants in recent years. Program sites may change from year to year.
