[edit] Grammar

Although Swahili has no standard articles (the, a), no genders (as in French or Spanish and no cases as in German, standard Swahili is a very highly inflected language. There are eight 'noun classes' with two numbers that specify the prefixes used at the beginnings of nouns adjectives and verbs and which are the basis for a system of concordal agreement.
