They have many different tribes just like we do. Their swa is like that for various reasons, main one being the fact that Swahili is their official national language. That means that its used in offices, schools etc.

Therefore, their swa is not "popular" in any part than the other (coz its universal). And some of their tribes include Maasai, Luo, Kuria, Chagga, Sukuma, Nyamwezi etc, etc.

I think the Chagga's are their equivalent of our Kyuks.
