The Swahili Wikipedia (Swahili: Wikipedia ya Kiswahili) is the Swahili language edition of Wikipedia. It is the largest edition of Wikipedia in a Niger–Congo or Nilo-Saharan language, followed by the Yoruba Wikipedia.[1]
It was mentioned on August 27, 2006, in International Herald Tribune and New York Newsday articles on the struggles of smaller Wikipedia language editions.[2] In 2009, Google sponsored the creation of articles in the Swahili Wikipedia.[3] On June 20, 2009, the Swahili Wikipedia gave its main page a makeover. As of May 2024, it has about 81,000 articles, making it the 82nd-largest Wikipedia.[4]
The Swahili Wikipedia is the second most popular Wikipedia in Tanzania and Kenya after the English version with respectively 14% and 4% of the visits, as of January 2021.
