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.

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.
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.
Their food is very similar to Aawambo’s food in Namibia 🇳🇦 . Even the way they prepare the food. Mahangu ( same grain as the one in the video) is our staple food.
Ah, bless Nene. I loved the way you were talking to each other, each in their mother tongue with pure respect and patience for the other! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing once again!
@@millie698kana I was asking myself because I know in BW it’s like BaNambya are also regarded as a Kalanga tribe but in the comments in Zim it’s like they are 2 tribes.
Hi Mpaphi... That's interesting. Maybe because I grew up knowing that they are different...I never knew that people consider them a dialect of Kalanga. Some have settled in Kumaga even.
@@millie698 that’s nice-we learn everyday.I’m from Tutume & I know our grannies call them “Bananzwa” saying they are northern BaKalanga bc north in Kalanga is Nanzwa.
@@mpaphimooketsisebapalo2956 oooh interesting...yes they are called nanzwa but it's from the Nambya tribe ( the language is the same-ish, obviously it has been diluted a bit by setswana etc)...just like you would be kalanga this side and karanga that side.
Great work Prince ! Never knew the back bencher shy-guy is doing so much in connecting and exposing our intricate culture. Love mama's clarity and authority. Tinoboka kasa.
The swallow is almost like TZ (tuo zafi) eaten with dry okra soup by people in the upper East of Ghana 🇬🇭 same pounding process Most of your veggies are eaten here too....much love from Ghana 🇬🇭 😋 😍
Ohk anyways its a mixture of many Zim langauges if you listen to gogo speaking dont how it originated but just said what l realised from the vlog thanks.
It's typical bantu language, the dialects are similar but this is chinyayi kasa kasa. Taboka nzekulu magriza, as we learn each other's language and culture, we appreciate Ubuntu
Nice one Magri,the nation needs something like this on national television to showcase the different tribes and their cultures found in Zimbabwe ,cultural exchanges especially in schools where different tribes will be assembled and showcase their way of living will encourage unity.loved your video
There is a bit of Venda again in Nyai language whatever it is their culture is similar to ours from Shurugwi rural in the 90s.But food is diff only a little is known too.
@@MagrizaMadeMeCook I appreciate what you are doing bro. Showing us what Zim is made of. Its made up of so many different tribes and all of them should be protected.
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 educational! Keep this up man. I really enjoy your content. Just also noticed how Nambya is so similar to Shona I could understand 90% of what she was saying without the subtitles. Also Nene Ncube is the best!
Thanks bro u are very humble and it shows u have respected your parents and brought properly this is very interesting because the language its a mixture of every Zimbabwe native language I have watched this 3 times ummm this is good we should be proud of our food and culture.
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.
These languages derive from the Kalanga language. Tjikalanga is basically Latin, it gave birth to many languages. TjiVenda TjiKaranga TjiLilima TjiNambya Khelobedu
.. this linguistic symbiosis belies insanity " we the people" display,project ..and advance...in our ATTITUDE...Such holly Harmoney!!! Sivalo Mahlangu...you keep breaking the boundaries.. taking us to heaven.Hlalunjalo👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿
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.
Thank you so much for your work. Your pieces are very informative. I lived in Hwange and loved my Nambya people. It us interesting to notice the similarities in language. I would want to hear the background story of the migration from the Rozvi
I want to believe that Rozvi language was like this , I want to believe the this is a bit diluted language of Rozvi dynasty. My grandfather born in 19th century used to say this
Hawu lamuhla awudli ingcangca mhlobo shuwa 😁😁😁. Inyoni lezo eziphekiweyo lami I wouldn't dare. I suggest you get a thumbnail of that sitshebo as I find it intriguing. Just a suggestion mhlobo....otherwise keep the videos coming through. All the best.
We are finally telling our own stories. Thanks my brother for your great work. Reminds us of our humble upbringings...Aweh!!
Thank you Brian...
The only utuber that is breaking boundaries in educating us thanks bhudi
Thank you for the feedback Charles Ncube!
Great job, you can hear the relationship between Kalanga and Nambya.
And Venda kancane like the words for food and evening... very interesting indeed!
I Nambya is Khalanga actually

Actually , the TjiNambiya tjoyindila neTjikalanga, which makes TjiNambiya part of the Kalanga group of languages.
Nambya sounds like a mix of Shona and Kalanga
Nambya its like ndau laungage
I argue that Tjisishona is the branch of Kalanga which makes part of the Kalanga languages.
Kalanga/karanga and Nambya we are the owner of Dzimbagwe in Masvingo

They do exist in Botswana. They are found in Gweta. My mom is Nambya from Gweta and my dad is kalanga.

Mixed languages here Karanga Kalanga and some bits of Ndebele and lastly Ndau from Chipinge.Thanks so much for sharing l am learning.
But Nambya people have always been there so Ndebele got words from here and mixed with their Zulu and made Ndebele,
I think Ndebele people got some words from these ones remember the on settler is Ndebele which is. ZULU so any words that exist in Ndebele

They more Karanga words can hear Nambya very well
Bro this is Shona dialect we only have few different words . Everything is similar
Nambya, kalanga, manyika, karanga, zezuru are all shona langauges with different dialects... Another great one again. Thank you.
Beg to differ with this .....Shona ain't a language
Nah, nambya is a totally different language sorry
Shona is not a language. Western education is to blame for this
Keep doing exploring throughout the country Mahlangu, You're doing a good work about Magriza M' Cook
