Kibushi
Kibushi is the Malagasy language spoken in Mayotte, closely related to the Sakalava dialect of north-western Madagascar. It was brought by Malagasy settlers who came to the island over several centuries. It is spoken by a minority of the population, alongside Shimaore, a Bantu language related to Swahili, and French, the official language.
