The 2012 cencus counted 17 055 people in Kamsamba ward and 25 755 people in Kipeta ward."

COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE

"At least half [of Wanda people speak Swahili] as education is in Swahili but their Swahili is limited, pre-school children and older people (60 and above) don’t speak it. Wanda is used as long as there are no non-Wanda speakers around. We have been told that even people from other tribes who start living among the Wanda will learn it and use it."
