The Vunjo language, or Kiwunjo, is a Bantu language, spoken mainly in Tanzania and by some over the border in Kenya, by approximately 300,000 Chaga people(1992 UBS). It is spoken in the Chaga area of the Kilimanjaro region. Vunjo is closely related to the other Chaga languages Rombo, Moshi, and Machame languages, with which it is said to form a dialect continuum.
