A Swahili Gloss

A text taken from the Swahili article on Kenyan History. I've included some of the noun classes in the gloss, although not for every word, but this can show you how the agreements work. Note that I didn't include some plurals in the literal gloss since these are covered by different noun classes in Swahili (e.g. NC2 is the plural of NC1 and NC4 that of NC3, etc.)

Review of Swahili

Swahili is possibly the most famous of the Sub-Saharan languages (ignoring English and French) and is also the most widely spoken with up to 140 million speakers, although the number of native speakers is significantly less. It is spoken to varying degrees in 8 different countries (Map). It is a member of the Bantu sub-family (Map - in pale green) which itself is part of the huge Niger-Congo family (Map - purple).
