Neither the CIA World Factbook 2008 nor the Ethnologue report for Comoros list comorian as an official language. Please produce a citation to confirm this.--The Jacobin (talk) 18:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article says, "No official alphabet existed in 1992 . . . ." but it doesn't explain why that year is significant. It should. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 16:58, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

So how did speakers of this language come to the Comoro islands? Did they migrate here by their own volition? Or were they brought here as slaves? (History of the Comoros is frustratingly sketchy on this issue.) -- llywrch (talk) 18:06, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

This source claims that the Bantu speakers arrived before the Shirazi Arabs sometime between the 5th and 10th century IntergalacticOboist (talk) 00:23, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Fdom5997 If there's actually a citation for the phonology, cite it directly, with a ref on the table, and cite the specific document and page number it comes from. --Eievie (talk) 20:38, 19 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Eievie Yes, I'll have to check to see which sources listed below, I used for the phonology section. Fdom5997 (talk) 22:38, 19 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
