Konongo–Ruwila language
Bantu language spoken in Tanzania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Konongo and Ruwila (or Rwira) constitute a Bantu language of central Tanzania that is closely related to Nyamwezi – close enough to sometimes be counted as a dialect of Nyamwezi. Ruwila was until recently quite poorly attested.
