Wikipedia

Kivunjo (also Vunjo) is a Bantu language, spoken mainly in Tanzania and by some over the border in Kenya, by approximately 300,000 people (1992 UBS). It is spoken in the Chaga area of the Kilimanjaro region. Kivunjo is closely related to the other Chaga languages Rombo, Moshi, and Machame languages, with which it is said to form a dialect continuum.
