Nyamwezi people
The Nyamwezi, or ''Wanyamwezi'', are one of the Bantu groups of Southeast Africa and the second-largest of over 120 ethnic groups in Tanzania. The Nyamezi people's ancestral homeland is in parts of Tabora Region, Singida Region, Shinyanga Region and Katavi Region. The term ''Nyamwezi'' is of Swahili origin, and translates as "people of the moon" in one hand but also means "people of the west",the latter being more meaningful to the context.
Historically, there have been five tribal groups, all referring to themselves as Wanyamwezi to outsiders: Kimbu, Konongo, Nyamwezi, Sukuma, and Sumbwa, who were never united. All groups normally merged have broadly similar cultures, although it is an oversimplification to view them as a single group.〔Brandström (1990), Chapter 2: Who is a Sukuma and who is a Nyamwezi?〕 The Nyamwezi have close cultural ties with the Sukuma people. Their homeland is called ''Unyamwezi'', and they speak the language Kinyamwezi, although many also speak Swahili or English.
It was only in the 19th century that the name could be found in literature; the term might include almost anyone from the western plateau. Travel taught them that others called them Nyamwezi, and almost all men accepted the name given to them by the coastal people indicating that the Nyamwezi came from the west. A century later, their land is still called "Greater Unyamwezi", about of rolling land at an elevation of about .
