influenced by ChiSena."--1000

(Chi)Tonga: Zambezi...
"The Zambezi dialect of the Tonga language is
spoken by about
100,000 BaTonga, as the people are known, on both sides of the
Zambezi River, which constitutes the border between Zambia
and Rhodesia. Speakers of the
language are found as far north as
the Ila-speaking area and southward to
Gokwe. This Bantu
tongue, closely related to Chi-Ila and Mukuni, is distinct from
the Tonga languages of Malawi and the
Inhambane region of
southern Mozambique. On the
basis of this usage, the ‘Union
Tonga’ idiom (see ChiTonga: Union) has been developed."--1000
