The Tsonga or Xitsonga language is spoken in southern
Africa by the Tsonga people, also known as the Shangaan.
Tsonga belongs to the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo
languages. Some people call them Shangaans, which according to them (Tsongas)
is wrong because Shangaans are those who live in Mozambigue. Most of the
Tsongas now live in Giyani, a place in Limpopo province in South Africa.
