However, other "Ngoni" speeches seem to have lost most of these distinctive features over the past 150-odd years, the language more resembling those of the neighbouring peoples. In 1977 it was estimated that 190,000 people spoke Hehe. There has been some Bible translation (British and Foreign Bible Society). Hehe may be mutually intelligible with Bena.[1] Hehe has 15 noun classes (akin to the genders of European languages); it marks this class with a prefix.[2] References1. ^1 Dwyer, D.
