A death certificate is a formal document provided either by a medical practitioner to record when a person has died or by a government office to declare the date, place, and cause of death in an official death register. This certificate is usually necessary for legal purposes, such as applying for probate or managing the estate of the deceased. It is also used for genealogical studies. Often, government offices update records like voting rolls and passport records without needing the physical certificate. A certificate from a physician or coroner confirming the cause of death is needed before issuing a death certificate. If the circumstances of death are unclear, for instance when a person is on life support, a neurologist may be consulted to confirm brain death. Delays in submitting the required paperwork are often both criminal and may lead to loss of the medical professional's licence.

The Swahili Language
- Swahili is a Bantu language with heavy influences from Arabic, due to centuries of trade between East African coastal regions and the Arab world.
- It is spoken by over 16 million native speakers and more than 80 million people as a second language across East Africa.
- Swahili is the official language of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda and is used as a lingua franca across much of East Africa.
- It was the first African language to be recognised as a working language by the African Union.
- Swahili has contributed words to English, such as "safari" (meaning journey) and "jenga" (meaning build).
Swahili, also known by its local name Kiswahili, is a Bantu language originally spoken by the Swahili people, who are found primarily in Tanzania, Kenya, and Mozambique (along the East African coast and adjacent littoral islands). Estimates of the number of Swahili speakers, including both native and second-language speakers, vary widely. They generally range from 60 million to 150 million; with most of its native speakers residing in Tanzania.
Swahili has a significant number of loanwords from other languages, mainly Arabic, as well as from Portuguese, English and German. Around 40% of Swahili vocabulary consists of Arabic loanwords, including the name of the language (سَوَاحِلي sawāḥilī, a plural adjectival form of an Arabic word meaning 'of the coasts'). The loanwords date from the era of contact between Arab traders and the Bantu inhabitants of the east coast of Africa, which was also the time period when Swahili emerged as a lingua franca in the region.
Due to concerted efforts by the government of Tanzania, Swahili is one of three official languages (the others being English and French) of the East African Community (EAC) countries, namely Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. It is the lingua franca of other areas in the African Great Lakes region and East and Southern Africa. Swahili is also one of the working languages of the African Union and of the Southern African Development Community. The East African Community created an institution called the East African Kiswahili Commission (EAKC) which began operations in 2015. The institution currently serves as the leading body for promoting the language in the East African region, as well as for coordinating its development and usage for regional integration and sustainable development. In recent years South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Ethiopia, and South Sudan have begun offering Swahili as a subject in schools or have developed plans to do so.
Shikomor (or Comorian), an official language in Comoros and also spoken in Mayotte (Shimaore), is closely related to Swahili and is sometimes considered a dialect of Swahili, although other authorities consider it a distinct language. In 2022, based on Swahili's growth as a prominent international language, the United Nations declared Swahili Language Day as 7 July to commemorate the date that Julius Nyerere adopted Swahili as a unifying language for African independence struggles.
