Abstract:

Chichewa is an eastern Bantu language spoken in Malawi, primarily in the 
Kasungu, Dowa, and Lilongwe districts. It is also known as Nyanja because 
of its ethnic and linguistic ties with the Nyanja people. Typical of Bantu 
languages, Chichewa is tonal with a CV syllable structure, five vowels, 
and approximately forty consonant sounds. It has an extensive noun class 
system distinguished by noun prefixes with an accompanying concord system. 
Its verbal system marks tense and aspect by infixes, tone, and 
auxiliaries. The passive, stative, causative, reciprocal, and applicative 
are verbal suffixes. Wh-questions are clefts and relative clauses are 
marked either by relative pronouns or tones. In recent years, Chichewa has 
been a rich source of study syntactically for its use of locatives, 
morphologically for its ideophones, and phonologically for its prosody and 
phrase structure.
