Rungu (African ethnic group)
The Rungu are an ethnic and linguistic group based in southwestern Tanzania and northeastern Zambia. In 1987 the Rungu population in Tanzania was estimated to number 34,000. The number of Rungu in Zambia has not been independently estimated, though the combined number of Mambwe and Rungu in Zambia was estimated to be 262,800 in 1993 http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=mgr.
The Mambwe language and Lungu, the Rungu language, are distinguished by minor dialect differences.
