The Shona () are a group of Bantu people in Zimbabwe and some neighbouring countries. The main part of them is divided into five major clans and adjacent to some people of very similar culture and languages. Therefore, there are various interpretations whom to subsume to the Shona proper and whom only to the Shona family. ==Shona regional classification== The Shona people are divided into Western Shonas (Bakalanga) and Eastern Shonas. Ethnologue notes that the language of the western Shona is mutually intelligible with the main dialects of the estern Shona, but counts them separately. *Sure members (10.7 million):〔 * * Karanga or Southern Shona * * * Duma * * * Jena * * * Mhari (Mari) * * * Ngova * * * Nyubi * * * Govera * * Rozvi, sharing the Karanga dialect (about 4.5 million speakers) * * Zezuru or Central Shona (3.2 million people, 11,000 of them in Botswana) * * * Budya * * * Gova * * * Tande * * * Tavara * * * Nyongwe * * * Pfunde * * * Shan Gwe * * Korekore or Northern Shona (1.7 million people) * * * Shawasha * * * Gova * * * Mbire * * * Tsunga * * * Kachikwakwa * * * Harava * * * Nohwe * * * Njanja * * * Nobvu * * * Kwazwimba (Zimba) * * narrow Shona (1.3 million people) * * * Toko * * * Hwesa *Members or close relatives: * * Manyika〔(Ethnologue: Manyika )〕 in Zimbabwe (861,000) and Mozambique (173,000).
