Manyika

Manyika

The Manyika are a Shona sub-tribal grouping with their own language variant, the Manyika language. The Manyika predominantly emanate from the Eastern region of Zimbabwe. The language is widely spoken in Manicaland Province and in certain areas of Manica Province in neighbouring Mozambique. The Manica dialect somewhat varies from region to region in Manicaland. Those from Nyanga, Nyamaropa, Nyatate and surrounding regions have a different tone and shaping of words compared to those from Buhera, Bocha areas. There are inherent endemic cultural norms in each of the sub-regions that constitute the Manyika people.
