Strong concept ACK |
There is currently no African language supported in the available set of wordlists used for generating mnemonics. With this PR, we are creating a wordlist for the swahili language. Swahili has an estimate of 200 million speakers in the whole world. Co-authored-by: vladimirfomene <vladimirfomene@gmail.com>

Given the expected permanence of this wordlist once accepted and merged, I proposed to work with @vladimirfomene to devise a reproducibility test, starting with a differentiated corpus |

Based on this comment: #1359 (comment), this PR will have to be moved to a different repository. |
Alright, makes sense to close and move then 👍 |

It appears that the author(s) of BIP 39 have decided not to accept any further word lists into BIP 39 itself, and encourage adding new ones to the WLIPs repo here: https://github.com/p2w34/wlips If BIP39 no longer accepts new wordlists, and such pull requests should instead be directed at the WLIPs repository, it seems to me that this PR can be closed. I propose to close this PR after 2024-05-10 unless further activity indicates otherwise. |

We believe this will increase bitcoin adoption as some wallets (Etta Wallet) are looking forward to implement this wordlist.
The Swahili words were selected with the following rules:
The wordlist used for this implementation were derived from https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/32019/swahili.gz.html
All words have been carefully cross-checked by Swahili language experts.
