Shona language

Shona ,〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 or ''chiShona'', is a Bantu language, native to the Shona people of Zimbabwe. The term is also used to identify peoples who speak one of the Shona language dialects: Zezuru, Karanga, Manyika and Korekore, sometimes also Ndau. Some researchers include Kalanga: others recognise it as a language in its own right.
Desmond Dale's basic English–Shona and Shona–English dictionaries comprise special vocabulary of the Karanga, Korekore, Manyika and Zezuru dialects, but no Ndau or Kalanga.
Shona is a principal language of Zimbabwe, along with Ndebele and the official business language, English. Shona is spoken by a large percentage of the people in Zimbabwe. Other countries that host Shona language speakers include Botswana and Mozambique.
==Speakers==
Shona is the Bantu language most widely spoken as a native language. According to Ethnologue,〔(Ethnologue's Shona entry )〕 Shona, comprising the Karanga, Zezuru, and Korekore dialects, is spoken by about 10.8 million people. Manyika and Ndau dialects of Shona,〔Stabilization in the Manyika Dialect of the Shona Group, Hazel Carter, Africa: Journal of the International African Institute, Vol. 26, No. 4, Oct., 1956, pp. 398-405〕〔Report on the Unification of the Shona Dialects. By Clement M. Doke. 1931〕〔(University of Pennsylvania Language Center )〕 listed separately by Ethnologue,〔(Ethnologue's list of Shona (S.10) languages )〕 and are spoken by 1,025,000〔(Ethnologue's Manyika entry )〕 and 2,380,000〔(Ethnologue's Ndau entry )〕 people, respectively. The total figure of Shona speakers is then about 14.2 million people. Zulu is the second most widely spoken Bantu language with 10.3 million speakers according to Ethnologue.〔(Ethnologue's list of languages by size )〕
