Title: Bemba New Testament / The Bemba language, Chibemba, also known as Cibemba, Ichibemba, Icibemba and Chiwemba, is a Bantu language that is spoken primarily in Zambia by the Bemba people and about 18 related ethnic groups Binding: Paperback Publication date: 2002 The noun class prefix 'chi-' indicates languages and the prefix 'ba-' indicates people, so 'Babemba' also means the Bemba people. The other close tribe is the Bisa people living in Mpika and Lake Bangweulu areas. Chibemba and its dialects are spoken and understood by a sizable percentage of the population of Zambia. Over three million people are estimated to be native Chibemba speakers in Zambia alone, with others using Chibemba as a second language. Chibemba is used as a lingua franca in Zambian cities and, according to Ethnologue, it "has higher social status than other languages except English" within Zambia (but Ethnologue has been criticised for these kinds of statements, and this is disputed by some).
