These are the languages in Comoros Island. They are collective of intelligible dialects united in their structures and grammar and lexicography. Like Swahili, Comoros collective of intelligible dialects belong to the Bantu family of languages. However, the size of the Arabic borrowed into Comoros languages is very high. This is not unconnected with the high estimation of the Comoros people to the holy Quran.

The origin of Comoros people can be traced to both African and Arabian ancestors. Resulting from migrations and trade, the spread of Islam in the Comoros Island goes back to the 11th century which accompanied the adoption of Arabic script for writing the language. The independence of the Comoros Island from the colonial master saw the replacement of Arabic script with the Latin one resulting from the objective of the nationalist government eradicate illiteracy and introduce Comoros language in the administrative and educational activities. A number of organizations today, are in support of the Latin scripted Comoros language. An example is the Comoros National Institute for Adult Education and the National Center of Scientific Research and Documentation responsible for producing publications on national literary heritage. However, French language remained the administrative, though; little Arabic is also in use. Although, the Quranic schools maintained their popularity among the populace, Arabic and Islamic education remained a sidelined in the official transactions.
