It is spoken in northwestern Zimbabwe, particularly in the town of Hwange,[1][2] with a few speakers in northeastern Botswana. It is either classified as a dialect of the Kalanga language or as a closely related language.[3] The Zimbabwean constitution, in particular the Education Act, as amended in 1990, recognises Nambya and Kalanga as separate indigenous languages.[3] PhonologyNambya is a tonal language. It has a simple 5 vowel system and a typical Bantu consonant-vowel (CV) syllable structure. The language has onsetless syllables, but these are restricted to the word-initial position, making Nambya typical of the Southern Bantu languages.[3] Vowels
MorphologyLike many Bantu languages, Nambya has a highly agglutinative morphology.[3] References1. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Xe59ZMZjEQYC&pg=PA55&dq=nambya+hwange&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjDuqa086vTAhXlL8AKHUfwDJ0Q6AEIJTAA#v=onepage&q=nambya%20hwange&f=false|title=The Politics of Language and Nation Building in Zimbabwe|last=Ndhlovu|first=Finex|date=2009-01-01|publisher=Peter Lang|year=|isbn=9783039119424|location=|pages=54|language=en}} {{Bantu-lang-stub}}2. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=t6TsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA220&dq=nambya+hwange&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjDuqa086vTAhXlL8AKHUfwDJ0Q6AEIRzAI#v=onepage&q=nambya%20hwange&f=false|title=Language Planning in Africa: The Cameroon, Sudan and Zimbabwe|last=Kamwangamalu|first=Nkonko|last2=Jr|first2=Richard B.
