The Mambwe and Lungu peoples living at the southern end of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania and Zambia speak a common language with minor dialectical differences. Perhaps half of the Fipa people to their north speak it as a native language. When spoken by the Fipa it is called Fipa-Mambwe; this is also the term for the branch of Bantu languages which includes Fipa and Mambwe-Lungu.
