The Swazi are a Bantu Nguni-speaking people in southeastern Africa chiefly in Swaziland and South Africa. Besides their language Siswati they speak Afrikaans in South Africa English in South Africa and Swaziland. More Swazi live in South Africa than in Swaziland since the late 1800s due to European settlement. The Swazi people and the Kingdom of Swaziland are named for Mswati II who became king in 1839.
