Nsenga, also known as Senga, is a Bantu language of Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique, occupying an area on the plateau that forms the watershed between the Zambezi and Luangwa river systems and Western Malawi land overshadowing Kachebere mountain called Mchinji.
The urban form of Nyanja spoken in the Zambian capital Lusaka has many features of Nsenga.
