Swahili Wikipedia (Wikipedia KiSwahili) is the Swahili language edition of Wikipedia. As of September 28, 2007, the Swahili Wikipedia is composed of 6,023 articles and is the 89th largest Wikipedia. It is also currently one of the three only Wikipedias in Niger-Congo languages with over 1,000 articles (and the first to have crossed that threshold), the other being the Yoruba Wikipedia.

It was mentioned in an August 27, 2006 International Herald Tribune article on the struggles of Wikipedia language editions which were directed towards languages which enjoy lesser first-language demographics than multinationally spoken languages such as English and French.[1]
