Gitonga is a Bantu language spoken by the Vatonga people, who inhabit the Inhambane region (Mozambique), in the districts of Inhambane, Maxixe, Jangamo, Morrumbene and surrounding areas. It is a predominantly oral language, with a dwindling number of speakers. This bilingual dictionary, accompanied by a grammatical compendium, is the first lexicographical instrument for this language, containing approximately 2600 entries. The project, conceived by the Mozambican writer Mia Couto following a conversation with the mayor of Oeiras in 2000, was financed by the Oeiras Municipal Council as part of the twinning agreement between that municipality and the Inhambane Municipal Council. The work includes a preface by Mia Couto and illustrations by the Mozambican painter Malangatana Valente. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
