Ndali, or Chindali, is a Bantu language spoken by an increasing population in southern Tanzania of 150,000 (1987) and in northern Malawi by 70,000 (2003).

Sukwa, or Chisukwa, spoken in the Misuku Hills of Malawi by fewer than 1000 people, appears to be a dialect of Ndali. The University of Malawi Language Mapping Survey for Northern Malawi (2006) classifies Lambya, Sukwa, and Ndali as three closely related dialects.[3] The same survey contains some vocabulary in the three dialects and a short text (the Tortoise and the Hare) in each one.

For further information see Kershner (2001).[4]
