I'm guessing Egyptian, because it's closest to Arabia and Swahili and Afrikaans come from the dutch. No idea about Zulu.
Again, I'm just guessing!

Saw this on google xD:

"The Swahili language, is basically of Bantu (African) origin. It has borrowed words from other languages such as Arabic probably as a result of the Swahili people using the Quran written in Arabic for spiritual guidance as Muslims."
