Comoros SOCIETY AND CULTURE
Comoran society and culture reflect the influences of
Islam
and the traditions of East Africa. The former provides the
basis
for religion and law; the East African influence is
evident in
the language, a Swahili dialect, and in a number of
pre-Islamic
customs. Western, primarily French, influences are also
prevalent, particularly in the modern educational sector,
the
civil service, and cultural affairs.
