(Chi)Shona...
"The Shona language, also known as Zezuru,
is spoken in
Mashonaland, central Rhodesia.
The number of MaShona (as
the people call themselves) is estimated at 600,000. Numerous
‘dialects’ are distinguished, which are here regarded as
separate
languages: Zezuru, or Shona Proper, Manyika, Karanga,
Kalaña, KoreKore, and Ndau. There are also regional sub-
dialectal tongues. The ‘Union Shona’ version was prepared in
a
usage which would accommodate all these Shona-stock lan-
guages except Kalaña, which was considered to be a variant."--
