COMOROS (Komori in the Comorian language) is an island country in southeastern Africa and surrounded by the Indian Ocean waters. The country is located about 80 kilometers northwest of Mayotte (Mayotte post link), an overseas territory of France. There are 3 major islands that make up Comoros: Njazidja (Grande Comore or Ngazidja), Ndzwani (Anjouan), and Mwali (Mohéli). Comorian residents speak Comorian, Arabic, and French, which are the country's official languages. Within Comorian are three main dialects, each of which are spoken mostly on the particular island it is named after: Mwali, Ndzwani, and Ngazidja. The vast majority of Comorian residents adhere to the tenets of Islam. The capital is Moroni, which is located on Njazidja island. Other communities include Fomboni, Foumbouni, M'Beni, M'Ramani, Mitsamiouli, Moya, Mutsamudu, and Sima. The currency is the Comoran Franc, and its ISO 4217 currency code is KMF.
