Swahilization

Swahilization refers to one of two practices:

the cultural assimilation of local peoples in Southeast Africa into the Swahili people and their culture.
the post-independence promotion of the Swahili language by the governments of Southeast African former colonies as a national and official language, alongside a greater cultural assimilation policy of Africanization (see Julius Nyerere and Ujamaa).
