What Did He Say ?

In tounge I speak bantic
native of shonia
also known zezuru karanga
manyika ndau or korekore

but I rather speak just shona

my speakers come in 
great strengths of 
7,000,000 or more

our words are written 
in standard languages
with orthography and grammer

there has been a novel 
written also about us called
soloman mutswairo feso


with open arms
I'd like to welcome you
to the republic of

Zimbabwe


Tribute To Africa


Had To Research
Of Language {Tounge} LOL
