<b>Description:</b>
 
Gogo is a Bantu language spoken by the Gogo people of Dodoma Region in Tanzania. The language is spoken throughout Dodoma Region and into the neighbouring district of Manyoni. The language is considered to have three dialects: Nyambwa (Cinyambwa or West Gogo) spoken to the west of Dodoma and in Manyoni, Nyaugogo (Cinyaugogo or Central Gogo) spoken in the environs of Dodoma, and Tumba (Citumba or East Gogo) spoken to the east. It is grouped (the Gogo group) with Kagulu, which has a 56% lexical similarity with Gogo proper, which leads some to classify Kagulu as a Gogo dialect. Gogo has about 50% lexical similarity with 50% with Hehe and Sangu (both Bena-Kinga languages (G.60), 48% with Kimbu and 45% with Nilamba (these last two are both in group F of the Central Narrow Bantu languages). Gogo is spoken by both Christians and Muslims, and is a major language of the Anglican Church of Tanzania.
