What is asenya?

Asenya is a Bantu language spoken by the Asenya people of Tanzania. It is classified as a member of the Bantu language family, which includes hundreds of languages spoken across central, eastern, and southern Africa. Asenya is primarily spoken in the Pwani Region of Tanzania, particularly in the Bagamoyo and Kibaha districts. The language is closely related to other Bantu languages spoken in the region, such as Swahili, and shares many grammatical and lexical features with these languages. In recent years, efforts have been made to promote the use of Asenya and to document its grammar and vocabulary for future generations.
