Shona
Bantu
Shona (chiShona) is the most widely spoken Bantu language of Zimbabwe and one of the country's official languages, with significant communities in Mozambique, Zambia, and Botswana — total speakers around 11 million. Sister to Ndau, Manyika, Karanga, Zezuru, and Korekore varieties (sometimes treated as separate languages). Has a rich tradition of stone sculpture (the Great Zimbabwe ruins are a Shona civilization heritage site), mbira music, and oral literature including praise poetry (madetembedzo). Latin script; tone is phonemic but not marked in standard orthography.
