Explanation: Indian Ocean trade (from about the 800s–1400s) linked Bantu-speaking Africans with Arab, Persian, and Indian merchants. That contact produced the Swahili language and culture—Bantu base with many Arabic loanwords—and flourishing coastal city-states influenced by Islam and overseas trade.
