The Mwani people (Kimwani/Kiswahili: Wamwani; Portuguese: Muane) are a Bantu ethnic group primarily inhabiting the coastline of the Cabo Delgado Province of Mozambique.[3] The Mwani people speak the Kimwani language,[4][2] also known as the Ibo language,[5] which is a Bantu language belonging to the Niger-Congo language family.[4] They are often considered part of the Swahili cultural world as they have important connections with the East African coast (especially coastal Tanzania and Zanzibar)[2][6][7]
