Aweer language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aweer (also known as Aweera, Boni, Bon, Bonta) is a Cushitic language spoken in Kenya.[1] Historically known in the literature by the derogatory term Boni, the Aweer are foragers traditionally subsisting on hunting, gathering, and collecting honey. Their ancestral lands range along the Kenyan coast from the Lamu and Ijara Districts into Southern Somalia's Badaade District. [2]
