Chiyombe or Yombe is a Chitumbuka language spoken by the Yombe people of Zambia, an ethnoreligious group who is part of the Tumbuka family[1][2][3][4] of the Bantu people, within the Sub-Saharan African affinity branch. They speak Tumbuka as their primary language,[5] with a number of speakers in Zambia of over 11,700.[citation needed] Their dialect slightly differs from the Senga dialect of Tumbuka which is also spoken in the country.[3]
