Everything about Maravi totally explained
Maravi was a state established by
Bantu people in the area of
Lake Malawi, in present-day
Malawi, sometime during the
16th century. (The present-day name "Malawi" is said to derive from "Maravi".) At its greatest extent, the state included territory from the
Tumbuka and Tonga areas to the north to the
Lower Shire in the south, and west to
Luangwa and
Zambezi valleys. It is also a generic name of the black tribes in Malawi,
Zambia,
Zimbabwe, and
Mozambique.
Maravi's rulers belonged to the
Phiri matriclan and held the title
Kalonga. They ruled from
Manthimba.
In the 19th century, the Maravi were frequently raided by their neighbors the
Yao and captured for sale as
slaves.
David Livingstone visited Lake Nyassa in 1859, and
Protestant missionaries soon followed.
Maravi peoples speak several dialects, including
Chichewa (Malawi’s official language), and speak other official languages:
Portuguese in Mozambique and
English in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
