Ndamba or "Chindamba" is classified as a Bantu language.[3] It is one of 87 languages spoken in Tanzania[4] Most Chindamba speakers are bilingual in Swahili and Chindamba.[5]
The other two languages most similar to Ndamba are Mbunga and Pogolo , because all of them belong to the same language group, which are the Kilombero languagues.[6]
