Ronga (XiRonga; sometimes ShiRonga or GiRonga) is a South-Eastern Bantu language in the Tswa–Ronga family spoken just South
of Maputo in Mozambique. It extends a little into South Africa. It has about 650,000 speakers in Mozambique and a further
90,000 in South Africa, with dialects including Konde, Putru and Kalanga. The French philologist Junod seems to have been
the first linguist to have studied it in the late 19th century. Its alphabet is based on that of Tsonga as provided by Methodist
missionaries and Portuguese settlers. |
