Mbugu people
text:
The Mbugu people, also known as the Va'maa, Ma'a are an ethnic Bantu and linguistic group hailing from western Usambara Mountains of Lushoto District in Tanga Region of Tanzania. Tanzania's Mbugu language is one of the few true hybrid languages, combining Bantu grammar with Cushitic lexicon. In actuality, the people speak two languages: one closely related to Pare and the other mixed. They are estimated to be around 60,000 Mbugu people left.
