Swahili is a language! And a tribe, dumb@ss. The Swahili used to trade ivory and enslaved people, which is now illegal. So they sell fish they catch off the coast.
In Medieval times the Swahili people mostly traded with the Arabians, the Persians (I think) and also the Chinese for sure. Actually, that is where they adopted a lot of their culture from, which is why archaeologists originally thought the Swahili people were Arabians. That is also what made the Swahili people so wealthy.
The Waswahili or Swahili People are predominantly MUSLIMS. It is worth noting that the majority of Swahili speakers are actually not Waswahilis themselves, but people who learned the language through trade or national governance. (This is the same way that, for example, far many more people speak English than just the descendants of England because of trade and governance.)
