Hey there is no dough that Swahili is comming fom Bantu for atleast 50% the rest is arabic, english , German, portuguese and chinese.
All the non African languages that are making Swahili came in to East African coast for the trade { ivory , slaves etc.].
In order to understand the locals they started mixing few Bantu words with their languages, and that when Swahili was Born.It took several hundred years for the people to understand eachother thrue Swahili.
