I am a Botswana from the North East, which classifies me as a Kalanga/Karanga. I am so blown away by how I am learning the origins of our ancestors. Great work and may God bless you for recording our past for future reference.

I am Xhosa of the Gcaleka, with some Mbo (of the Karanga via the Dlamini lineage) and I too feel the same. I am blown away by hearing common words that we still use 600 years later.

Great job, you can hear the relationship between Kalanga and Nambya.

I Nambya is Khalanga actually

Bakalanga are a big nation, with various tribes and language accents. I grew up long time ago knowing that Banandzwa not Nambya were a Bakalanga tribe of the broader Bakalanga ethnic group. The correct name as they say is Banyayi, a Bakalanga tribal group that inhabits the Maitengwe district in Botswana and western Zimbabwe. In this context Nambya is the area they live in, making them Banandzwa/Nambyians. In a nutshel these are pure Bakalanga.

Love nambias. Went to St Mary’s primary in the early 70s. Nambias are a peaceful tribe. Lebelekani chokunasu. I miss home.

Kalanga/karanga and Nambya we are the owner of Dzimbagwe in Masvingo

its so fascinating how both of you are somewhat understanding each other while speaking different languages.

First time hearing about this tribe “Nambya”.Is this in Zimbabwe?

Mwanangu akandubuja kuti “ mhayi, kuzituma ke” baba bamazhubano so. Magriza ngiyi linguist. Can speak 9 languages plus English. I Stretch from Plumtree to Zambia. Proud to be Zimbo.

Zokwedu isu bechiNizi, Nambya consists of a certain number of dialects, namely baNyai( Hwange Districts) and baNizi( Victoria Falls Districts), the rest are the Botswana dialects which some differ accent wise whilst some differ on the use of L's as R's as it is influenced by the surrounding Tswana language. The tribe originates in the Great Zimbabwe. NB: DAVID LIVINGSTON WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO SEE THE VICTORIA FALLS, TISU BECHI NIZI, BANAMBYA TOGETHER WITH THE KHOISAN.

I like the language it is complete kalanga bt with diferent dialect

I am a Southern African Venḓa and I have some Vhanyai/Munyai people in Venḓa as my relatives. It's so refreshing to hear that Nambya language is not so different to TshiVenḓa... I can hear almost all the words even words that are now extinct to both written and spoken venḓa... Word like Ṅombe (cow), which you only now hear in Proverbs and Idioms and sayings eg. Mutupo u tevhela Ṅombe [(A totem follows the Cow (marriage)] . Our languages do connect us if we search deeper into them... Honestly it is easier for me to hear and understand Nambya than Shona languages.

My mum is Nambya and speaks Ndebele as a Shona speaking person I can understand it well. I'm in love with Nambya

Was she speaking Nambya in this video? Obviously African languages have similarities at various different levels subtle and explicit because of the cultural unity of Africa that Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop outlines, we are the same yet diverse people and have been interacting, trading, exchanging and before colonization we had vast kingdoms that would cover vast territories and hence we were not so dispersed, restricted and alienated from each other but I speak Swahili and I heard so many similarities.

BaNyai ppl historically documented to be a sister tribe to Kalanga/Karanga but it sounds more of mixture of Venda/Kalanga ( a few words)/Karanga. The food is same as the Ama Kalanga ppl with some minor differences. This migration history is very intriguing. If only you could do the cookery session with the San people near that part of the country.

Very interesting and enjoyable. I had never even heard of a language or culture called Nambya.... which is quite sad being a Harare-based Zimbabwean. The dish with the little birds was just flavoured with tomatoes and salt. After tasting it was there a hint of smokiness in the dish from the fire she cooked on? Sometimes that also contributes to the flavour of the meal.
