Siwi is a Berber Afro-Asiatic language of Egypt, spoken by about 15,000 people in and around the oasis of Siwa near the Libyan border. Most speakers of Siwi also know Arabic, and the language contains a large number of Egyptian Arabic loanwords. Although Arabic is the official language of Egypt, the first language spoken by Siwa's children is the Siwi.
