Shona

The majority of the people in the Masvingo, Harare (the capital), Mashonaland East, Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland West, Manicaland and Masvingo provinces of Zimbabwe speak Shona. That make 7 out of the 10 provinces in the country. Nearly 10 million people speak Shona in Zimbabwe. The language is also spoken in neighbouring Botswana and Mozambique by small pockets of Shona people. Shona is also spoken as a second language by speakers of the other indigenous languages in Zimbabwe as the colonial education policy required that it be taught in all black schools in the country
