Swahili (W3)

...
The name "Swahili" comes from the plural of the Arabic word "sahel" or "sawahil" meaning "boundary" or "coast" (used as an adjective to mean "coastal dwellers" or, by extension, "coastal language"). Sahel is also the word used for the "border zone of the Sahara". The incorporation of the final "i" is likely for phonetic reasons as it is consistent with the tendency to end words with vowel sounds.
