The Mang'anja form part of the great River and Lake branch of the Bantu race, and Chimang'anja is the language of the River or Lake. The dialects of Chikunda, Ambo, Chipeta, Anguru, are but slightly modified Mang'anja. The Mang'anja are related more closely to the Zulu, Kaffir and Congo tribes than they are to the Coast tribes, as represented by Swahili, migrative Yao, Lomwe, and others.
