Bantu language spoken in Tanzania and Zambia
Not to be confused with Nyika language or Nyika languages.
Nyiha (Nyixa, Nyika) is a Bantu language primarily spoken in Tanzania and Zambia. The language of the 10,000 speakers in Malawi is different enough to sometimes be considered a distinct language.
