Swahili terms that are no longer fashionable and thus areanachronistic, but still sometimes in use, especially by older speakers.

To categorize into this category, use{{tlb|sw|dated}} (templatetlb, notlb), which should typically be placed next to the headword.

If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized instead in[[Category:Swahili dated forms]] (using{{dated form of|sw|...}} or{{dated spelling of|sw|...}}). If only some senses of the term are dated, it should be categorized instead in[[Category:Swahili terms with dated senses]], using{{lb|sw|dated}} (templatelb instead oftlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense.

Dated terms should be distinguished from archaic terms, which are no longer in use (except occasionally for special effect) but are still sometimes encountered in older literature and are typically recognized by native speakers; and obsolete terms, which are no longer in use at all and are not usually recognized by native speakers.
