Cisena
Sena
Atlantic-Congo (Bantu, Senga-Sena)
Sena (Cisena) is a Bantu language of central Mozambique and southern Malawi, anchored on the Lower Zambezi River around Beira and Tete. Closely related to Nyanja/Chichewa (ny) and Tumbuka (tum) within the Eastern Bantu N group. The historical centre of Sena identity is the lower Zambezi valley, where it was a major trade language during the Portuguese colonial Prazo system (16th-19th c.). Diocesan publications in Sena (Catholic, since the 19th century) and active Mozambican radio broadcasting maintain it.
