Shikomoro, or Comorian, is the Bantu language of the Comoro Islands in the Indian Ocean, official in the Comoros alongside French and Arabic. It is closely related to Swahili but distinct from it. Each island has its own variety: Shingazidja on Grande Comore, Shimwali on Moheli, Shindzwani on Anjouan and Shimaore on Mayotte, which is administered as a French overseas department. The island varieties differ enough that speakers sometimes fall back on French. Most of the islands' population, several hundred thousand people, speak Comorian as a first language. It has traditionally been written in Arabic script, with the Latin alphabet increasingly used in modern materials, though no single spelling standard has fully taken hold.
