Thank you very much for replying and for this information! So how many people do you think speak Nyanja? Is it the same dialect as Malawi’s or Zaire’s? Is it Ci-Cewa? Do you remember any of the Nyanja?
Oh, for anyone else interested, I found http://www.albany.edu/~lb527/LOZ.html
jels
10 places
some basic nyanja
hello – bwanji (boo-ahn-gee)
how are you – muli bwanji?
i’m fine – ndili bwino
thank you (vey much)- zikomo (kwambiri)
goodbye – pitani/salani bwino
my name is… – dzina langa ndine…
nyanja is widely spoken across the whole country but especially in the eastern provine, lusaka and central province.
seeing as nyanja-speaking people originate from the eastern province which borders entirely with malawi, i am pretty sure that there is a strong relation…
cheers!
