List of sultans in the Comoro Islands

Several sultanates in the Comoro Islands, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, were founded after the introduction of Islam into the area in the 15th century. Other titles could also be fani, mfaume and ntibe. Unlike sultans in many other Arab nations, these sultans had little real power. At one time alone on the island of Ndzuwani or Nzwani, 40 fanis and other chiefs shared power of the island; Ngazidja was at many times divided into 11 sultanates. This article addresses the major sultanates.
