In northern ngoniland ngoni continued to be the main spoken language until early 1900s when it died down. However I must admit the no single answer to your question though i believe assimilation played a major part especially since language is passed from mother to child and if you end up with alot of assimilated wives your language is bound to lose out.Samuel Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566370731789123864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612876261046640414.post-55251916032345098962010-11-12T12:41:54.511+00:002010-11-12T12:41:54.511+00:00For interest sake is today Ngoni still using the c...For interest sake is today Ngoni still using the clan names they use back home?and are the still people speaking Ngoni in Malawi?
