The Manganja Nyanja of Malawi, numbering approximately 2,710,000 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are the southern branch of the Maravi peoples who migrated from central Africa into the Shire River valley by the fifteenth century, whose dialect absorbed vocabulary from the Kololo, Lomwe, and Yao neighbors they welcomed among them. They mostly adhere to Ethnoreligion and Chichewa is their primary language.
