There are various spellings and pronunciations of the name: Zimba, Dhimba, Tjimba, Chimba, etc. However, when spelled Tjimba or Chimba in English, it generally refers to the Tjimba people, non-Herero hunter-gatherers who speak Zemba. The spelling Himba should be distinguished from the Himba people and their dialect of Herero. Ethnologue separates Zemba as a distinct language from Himba, which according to the language map of Namibia it retains under Herero proper.[2] Maho (2009), however, sets up a Northwest Herero language, which includes Zemba; from the map, it would appear to include Himba and Hakaona as well.References1. ^{{e16|dhm}} {{Languages of Angola}}{{Languages of Namibia}}{{Narrow Bantu languages|N-S}}{{Bantu-lang-stub}}2. ^{{e16|dhm|Zemba}} 3 : Herero language|Languages of Angola|Languages of Namibia |
