Shona is one of Zimbabwe’s primary Bantu languages, spoken by over 10 million native speakers and by diaspora communities across South Africa, the United Kingdom, Australia and North America. It encompasses several dialects—including Zezuru, Karanga and Korekore—each with its unique expressions and idioms. Used daily in media, education and government, Shona conveys rich oral traditions, proverbs and folklore that demand cultural sensitivity in translation. Our linguists’ deep understanding of regional variations ensures your message resonates authentically, whether your audience is in Harare, Bulawayo or beyond.
