Swahili, the most widely-spoken African language, has a long history, and a complex grammar which reflects many centuries of interactions between the peoples of coastal East Africa, central Africa, and Arabia. As with European languages, words to describe new concepts are either derived from existing terms or borrowed from other languages. Many Swahili terms for items found in offices, such as 'computer' ('kompyuta') and 'typewriter' ('taipu'), are adaptions of English words; the word for 'file' ('faili', pronounced "filee") is another Swahili word of English origin. When words enter Swahili, they are incorporated grammatically into a system of 18 noun classes, one example of which is 'mafaili' (pronounced "ma-filee"), the plural of 'faili'.
