Kĩkamba
Kamba
Atlantic-Congo (Bantu, Kamba-Kikuyu)
Kamba (Kĩkamba) is a major Kenyan Bantu language of the Eastern Province with ~4M speakers — one of Kenya's five largest ethnic-language groups alongside Kikuyu, Luhya, Kalenjin, and Luo. Closely related to Kikuyu (E51) within the Bantu E70 Kamba-Kikuyu group. The Kamba people are renowned woodcarvers (Wamunyu sculptural tradition since the 1920s) and were 19th-c. caravan traders linking the coast to the Great Lakes. Latin orthography developed by missionaries 1888; used in primary education and broadcasting on Musyi FM since 2007.
