Kalanga people
The Kalanga, also known as the Bakalanga, Bakalaka, are one of the first Bantu speaking tribes to migrate to present day Botswana, followed by the Bakgalagadi and then the Batswana (Bakwena who then split).
Present day, the Kalanga and the Karanga, the largest group of the (Eastern) Shona, are two different groups. In historical tradition, the groups are sometimes confused; as the Shona sound ''r'' generally represents an ''l''-sound of other languages, "Kalanga" and "Karanga" etymologically are merely phonetic variants of the same name.
== Relations ==
The Kalanga, or western Shona, are not related to the Mashona. They mainly inhabit Zimbabwe and Botswana. Probably, they were split from the Venda by the civil war in the 16th century. They are estimated to number around 850,000 today.
The Kalangas are one of the largest minority groups in Botswana. The 1946 census indicated that there were 22,777 (40% of the numerically largest district) Kalanga in the Bamangwato (Central) District.〔Mpho, 1987: This excluded those in the North-east District〕
