This template creates headword lines for Swahili nouns; it should be functional for every type of noun in Swahili. Use it directly under the “Noun” header (e.g. for kitu (“thing”)):

Syntax

In default use, the template takes two unnamed parameters, the first of which is required and the second of which is optional, as well as |head=. Additional parameters are |anim= (to specify animacy) and |coll= (to tell the template there is a second plural in ma-). There are several use cases.

The simplest case is when the plural is formed by replacing the noun prefix. In this case, the first unnamed parameter is the singular prefix and the plural prefix, connected by a hyphen (both lowercase). The template will figure out the rest:
On the page kitu,
{{sw-noun|ki-vi}} gives

kitu VII တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် vitu VIII တန်)

On the page Mkenya,
{{sw-noun|m-wa}} gives

Mkenya I တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် Wakenya II တန်)

On the page kituo cha basi,
{{sw-noun|ki-vi}} gives

kituo cha basi VII တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် vituo vya basi VIII တန်)
If the word is in ji-ma class_(V/VI), is prefixless in singular, and has its plural with a simple ma- prefix; or if the word is in n class_(IX/X) and its plural is identical to its singular; then the first unnamed parameter can be set to |ma or |n respectively:
On the page kao,
{{sw-noun|ma}} gives

kao V တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် makao VI တန်)

On the page pembe,
{{sw-noun|n}} gives

pembe IX တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် pembe X တန်)
If the plural cannot be correctly generated this way, specify it explicitly with the second unnamed parameter. The first unnamed parameter must give the noun class, either specified as above or with a numeral (arabic or roman):
On the page mwanamke,
{{sw-noun|I|wanawake}} gives

mwanamke I တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် wanawake II တန်)
If a word has no plural, put the second parameter to |-. If the word is only plural, put it to |plural:
On the page uke,
{{sw-noun|XI|-}} gives

uke XI တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ်ဟွံမွဲ)

On the page nukta mbili,
{{sw-noun|X|plural}} gives

nukta mbili X တန် (ပါဲနူကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ်)
If there is a second plural in ma-, add the parameter |coll=y:
On the page hoteli,
{{sw-noun|n|coll=y}} gives

hoteli IX တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် hoteli X တန်, ဝါ mahoteli VI တန်)
To manually specify a second plural, use |pl2=; to specify its class (if different from the first plural), use |pl2cl=:
On the page mwanamwali,
{{sw-noun|I|pl2=wanawali}} gives

mwanamwali I တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် wanamwali II တန် or wanawali II တန်)

On the page ukucha,
{{sw-noun|u|pl2=makucha|pl2cl=VI}} gives

ukucha XI တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် kucha X တန် or makucha VI တန်)
There are nouns that can be in ji-ma class_(V/VI) or n class_(IX/X), with no difference in meaning. For these, specify the class number as |59:
On the page bafu,
{{sw-noun|59}} gives

bafu V or IX တန် (plural mabafu VI တန် or bafu X တန်)
For animate nouns that do not look like they are in m-wa class_(I/II), proceed as above and add the parameter |anim=y:
On the page kipofu,
{{sw-noun|ki-vi|anim=y}} gives

kipofu I တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် vipofu II တန်)

On the page rafiki,
{{sw-noun|n|anim=y|coll=y}} gives

rafiki I/IX တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် rafiki II/X တန်, ဝါ marafiki II/X တန်)

There are more ways to use the template that will work, for backward compatibility. For example, specifying only the singular or only the plural prefix may work as well.

If all this fails (for example if two classes are possible in singular), it is possible to give everything explicitly. Singular class(es) are given with |cl= and |cl2=, plural(s) with |pl= and |pl2=, and plural class(es) with |plcl= and |pl2cl=. (If both plural classes are identical, the second one can be left out.) Do not mix this approach with the automatised approach outlined above.

On the page mvinyo,

{{sw-noun|cl=III|cl2=IX|pl=mivinyo|pl2=mvinyo|plcl=IV|pl2cl=X}} gives

mvinyo III or IX တန် (ကိုန်ဗဟုဝစ် mivinyo IV တန်, ဝါ mvinyo X တန်)
