Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Mwanga, or Namwanga (Nyamwanga), is a Bantu language spoken by the Namwanga in the Northern Province of Zambia[4] (mainly in the districts of Isoka and Nakonde) and in Mbeya Region, Tanzania. The 2010 Zambian census found 140,000 speakers. The current number in Tanzania is unknown; Ethnologue cites a figure from 1987 of 87,000.[1]

The Namwanga language is similar to the Mambwe language spoken by the Mambwe people of Mbala and Mpulungu districts and the Lungu people also found in Isoka. Other similar smaller peoples include the Lambyas, the Nyikas and the Wandyas.
